According to Time, it’s not just all those chicken-fried steaks and biscuits smothered with country gravy that have Bubba carrying around a spare monster truck tire. isn’t walking much to move that tire around.
Some of the Time observations are spot on: Fewer bus routes mean less walking to buses. Narrower roads means less biking, for general safety sake and for redneck-types (or urban minority types here in Dallas, too) yelling out the doors while driving six inches away, etc.
But others? Like heat and humidity?
You don’t see a lot of fat Brazilians or Congolese, do you?
Instead, let’s blame air-conditioning for encouraging Southern refusal to get outside and do more.
Besides, if people are like monkeys on eating, cut back the chicken-frieds to add years to your life.
