Why Are Southerners So Fat?

Kind of retarded? I thought that was an all or nothing proposition?

btw I qualified for Mensa but did not want to be associated with the stuck up pricks.

So I lit up another joint and joined Densa instead

Why Are Southerners So Fat?

Because their brains are so huge they need some extra space to put them.

That explains their fat asses at least.

You're both wrong.

They're fatter because the south sucks and there's nothing to do in the south except to eat and be racists.

LOLZ

Is that really what you think?

Sad.

The South has every good thing that the rest of the country has. And every bad thing.

Do you really want to be seen as a bad thing that the rest of the country has in common with the South?

You're both wrong.

They're fatter because the south sucks and there's nothing to do in the south except to eat and be racists.

btw the south ends about Jacksonville, FL.

What is south of there is not really "south".

I think you have hit on several of the contributing factors. I believe the leading cause is definitely socioeconomic, which then carries in to culture. The poor often buy foods that are cheaper and processed so they can afford to feed the family, then on top of that they fry the foods because it's an inexpensive way to increase satisfaction and calorie count.

Much of those fried and smothered type recipes originated in the south during slavery because quantities and supplies were absolutely limited for slaves. The foods stuck around but the south tends to be MUCH more sedintary than it was then.

It all started in the south with the invention of air conditioning.
