That's a fact. Whenever I'm in other areas of the US, I can't help noticing how heavy so many people are. Not hard to believe the statistics saying that nearly 35% of Americans are considered obese. It's especially noticeable at places that attract large numbers of people from all over, like airports, theme parks, or major tourist attractions. It's sad seeing so many overweight parents with their equally-overweight young kids in tow as well. In many cases, bad eating habits are being passed on from one generation to the next.
