WOW, a few extra months in a nursing home at the end of our lives IF only we had the wit to live in some crowded inner city hellhole. Book me a ticket.

The collectivist left hates the suburbs, where private property and automobiles give power and freedom to the individual.
Take out all the extraneous commentary, all the white noise discussion, all the salesmanship for diet aids, all the "science" and that statement is, and always will be, the bottom line.
The author has obviously never hand-cut two acres of grass.
*People in dense cities are thinner and have healthier hearts than people in sprawling subdivisions.*
That’s because they have to run from the gunfire. Keeps them in shape.
Liberals LOVE cities. They need others around them as a support group. They are feeble minded and physically weak. They need constant hugs, reaffirmations, and pats on the head.
Those that live outside the cities are considered arrogant bastards. Who do they think they are not needing pats on the head or friends around them 24x7?!

That’s a typical liberal view of the city vs suburbs that somehow city life is more invigorating. The fattest and most out of shape stressed our freaks I see are city dwellers.
I don’t anyone that lives outside a city that says, “Gosh, I can’t wait to go live in Manhattan!”, but I know plenty in Manhattan that can’t wait to get out of that cesspool.
From this study can we say automobile emissions cause people to lose weight?

I can’t take anything seriously when the writing sounds so stupid! Killing three times fewer people? If I had written such an absurdity in the fifth grade my teacher would have given me an F in English. Does anyone know how to write an intelligible sentence any longer? I am so tired of asking myself, what is that supposed to mean, or in some extreme cases, did the author even know what he was trying to say?
Ding, ding, we have a winner! Good for you. The more I read about our food supply, the less frankenfood I consume.
