Maybe there's a direct correlation. I know poverty and less education and obesity are closely linked, which seems strange.
Ya, thats good to know I'm on the thin list, and with the direct correlation between intellegence, I guess I'm doing pretty good right now.

Edit: But then again look at Paris Hilton. She should be pretty smart, maybe she is just an anomoly in the rule.

Those are quite scary percentages of obese people!:shocked:
hell, 1 out of 3 not only overweight, obese.

i always thought people in colder places would be fatter, since there isnt much to do but eat.

well, actually, there isnt much to do in the south and that may be a reason.
