I've told UT, you can't continue to shrink seats to expand capacity and think it's a good long term idea.

I don't think it has much to do with available diet. For $30 in MS you can easily prepare a healthy meal for a family of 4 or you can get 4 Big Mac combos. More about choice than availability.


Have you ever been to a poor neighborhood? Yes, choice factors, but the availability of fresh, healthy ingredients varies wildly between poor and wealthy areas, as does the feasibility of keeping fresh ingredients -- which tend to go bad and require new shopping trips with much greater frequency than non-fresh -- stocked. People do have options in life, but it's not exactly correct to say that their circumstances don't figure hugely in said options, especially when you add in the fact that impoverished people usually have only the example of impoverished previous generations to teach them as they grow up.

The Cumberland Gap area of the Bluegrass State is the fattest place I've ever been, and I've been on safari.
When I think of fat places, I dont think of impoverished areas of Africa.

"Thank God for Mississippi" is a song played on Alabama local radio every time Alabama has a terrible stat, because often Mississippi is ranked even lower. It is just humor and not meant to be taken seriously. I love the state of Mississippi personally, and visit frequently. I try to make it to Tunica 3 or 4 times a year. I always try to make it when Bama is playing in Oxford because you guys have some smoking hot women too. Hell, if my job wasn't in Alabama, I would move to Mississippi.

I see what your getting at but your wrong.. As a nutrition major, I can tell you, it's all about calories in vs calories out.. Just cause your on a budget doesn't mean you have to take in excess calories every day.. no one is forcing food down anyone's mouth.. doesn't matter if your poor or not or where you live.. Food is fuel, and when it is treated as more than that, fat is gained...

If we are getting fatter, the poor people before us were thinner.

I eat like shite some days, and it has nothing to do with availability of healthy choices.

The state of Missouri has some of the butt fugliest people i have ever seen. The few times i have driven through there i saw nothing but meth'd out white trash. Kansas City being the exception.

Herein lies the truth. You could walk into the grocery store in Rolling Fork,MS. and pay for everybody's groceries, even help them with the list so as to fill their baskets with healthier choices.

When they got home they would fry everything in lard.
