Praise the Lard (part 2)

It's a sad and unfortunate fact that some of the highest rates of obesity are in Memphis and in the South. Fried food, fried catfish, fried pickles, white bread, sweet n' low and tons of Coke are all to blame! Plus, add the fact that everything is drive-thru--drive-thru ATMs, drive-thru Starbucks, drive-thru pharmacy. The whole town was designed around a car. It's hard to walk places because it's JUST beyond the point of where it's worth it to walk (e.g. it takes 45 minutes to walk to Walgreen's one-way). I would argue that this city is designed for you to at least be 15 pounds overweight.
