We may not hate blacks as much as people from up north and out west but unfortunately our diet is awful compared to them

i bet white southerners have higher overweight and obesity rates than white east and west coasters
Here is the obesity rates for non-Hispanic Whites:
Hispanics:
Blacks:
And not surprisingly, the overall obesity rate is the South with the highest, followed closely by the Midwest, then the East and West.

That’s a dumb bet. Of course that’s true.
But the black population in the south is vastly more overweight than the white. That’s not really debatable.
I think it’s a myriad of reasons though. Mostly dietary issues and compared to the other regions, hardly anybody exercises or does any form of physical activity. The south has a very sedentary lifestyle.

microwaves are the portal to obesity.

They’re also the portal to taquitos.
Well the quickest one anyway.

The amount of time Southerners throw away sitting on their couches watching sports is a part.
The reliance on automized vehicles for almost every sort of activity outside the house is another.
If Southerners learned to do more walking, abandon their cars, design cities and towns less car centric, and stopped wasting time watching others play sports, Southern health would greatly improve.

Over 100 miles every week. I encourage others to do the same. We were designed by God to be walking, journeying creatures. Walking is good for both body and spirit, as well as our communities.

True. Temptation goes in and out Of that magical door pretty damn quickly.

Ive had a microwave for about six month for the first time in almost ten years. Almost never use it. I just feels trashy
Posted on 4/8/20 at 11:11 pm to GreatLakesTiger24
Agreed. I just use mine to melt butter to drink

Think about Southern Cuisine. You ever seen what Paula Dean cooks? Every meal is 2 days worth of calories.

The Southern Democrats of yesteryear would frick up the Southern Republicans of today.

Where do the best athletes come from?

Looks like the South does pretty well comparatively.

The whole country (and the world) is getting fatter. We're just the leading edge.

I think it’s related to education

The proliferation of air conditioning has a lot to do with it.
Spend a July day outside in Denver then one in NO and get back to me on the difference.
When I was a very young man my father told me air conditioning had ruined the south and it took me a while to figure out what he meant but it is true.
Gone are the days of evening strolls and calling on your neighbors, stores and shops staying open into the evening to "beat the heat" and kids sweating in classrooms. Our local school recently had days off due to the HVAC being broken WTF? All I ever had was a big assed fan in the classroom.
We learn to hide from out climate at an early age down here now.
