Did any of you see the documentary about Houston being the |
|
'fattest' city in the US? Interesting. What did you think?

1. I used to live there. The city is so spread out you spend a lot |
|
of time in your car, which helps to diminish the already poor air quality. Lots of good places to eat, too.

3. That was one of the facts they focused on - that people spent |
|
too much time in their cars and rarely walked anywhere. One woman even drove her son to his bus stop - 50 feet away. I don't get it. Plus the many all-you-can-eat type buffets there. Amazing.

2. I'm sorry I missed that |

I've only barely been to Houston, but I'd say that much of the local cuisine isn't conducive to slenderizing.
Mmmm, butter.... :9

not to mention breathing all that pollution.
Chicken-fried-steak doesn't help either.

5. Yup - the cuisine was definitely not California salad-types. |
