The healthy food is expensive narrative is such bullshite
Some of the absolute healthiest foods are super cheap. People are lazy and don't want to cook.

People completely overlook the black population when making these comparisons.
The South has the vast majority of the black population in the U.S. The black population has the highest rates of obesity of any group. Why? I don’t know. But they do.
That’s not to say there aren’t a lot of fatass white people, because there are. But the black population does skew the obesity rate of the South upward.
As for athleticism, the black population is more athletic. So I’m not sure about the whole South isn’t athletic thing. Black people live in the South. There are a lot of athletic black people.

Interesting post. I’ll have to pick up that book. I’ll take a shot in the dark
Industrialization made the hard/gritty life easier. More machines in farming, etc. Air conditioning sure as hell made life easier and one could make the stretch that it made people soft. We do like to indulge in food too. Southern food is known world wide. Washington folks eat rhubarb and other weird shite. Urban and rural communities are both plagued with high levels of poverty and poor education.
Going from that civil war angle, perhaps the South lost its edge and hunger when the soldiers of the day lost the war. Their ambitions didn’t get passed along to their bloodlines. Take the passion and grudge out of the native old south folks and water that down with everyone else that’s moved in since then could’ve furthered that effect.

Not dismissing the culture or lack of giving a shite in the south. But it’s just not a place you walk outside and say I want to exercise

Southerners have always had crappy diets overall . But today, processed foods are attractive. It is cheaper. Southerners are as a whole poorer so the crappy food in the aisles were just very attractive....cheap, sugary, filling and plentiful

More so comparing 2020 Southerners to their 2020 counterparts in other regions, contrasted to the historical comparisons.

I answered why. Just seemed like a strange pivot in your OP. Like you didn’t know the answer

height is not about healthy living.
midwest attracted scandinavians.
minnesota and north dakota accent is related to the swedes. they are big.
rockford illinois. swedes and norwegians.
a whole neighborhood north side chicago of swedes.
polish in Chicago. big people.
the issue is identifying as a good old boy and mocking people into green smoothies.
the yankee culture as the maps show, runs from harvard to uc Berkeley.
sf bay was populated by new englanders in ships. come for gold.
marin county is mocked on td. soi boys
they bike, jog. row.

Look at people in here talking about the corona virus and shrugging it off.
This is such shite. No one is shrugging it off. Some of us just don’t panic or run and hide from everything a biased, sensationalistic media tells us. And some of us have enough experience to know better than to believe everything the government tells us.
Just because we don’t freak out like a bunch of Facebook moms doesn’t mean we don’t take it seriously. Some of us just compartmentalize the shite and keep moving.

Whole foods usually take more work than just popping it in the microwave or running through the drive-thru so people choose the path of least resistance.

Meh, saying “Fat, lazy, and stupid” isn’t really an answer. I’m more interested in why they became fat, lazy, and stupid, because the evidence shows this is a relatively new development.

The incredible part to me is getting so fricking fat that you basically can’t get to a moderately healthy weight again
