5. Is it just me? Or did I really sense that the fat white boys
sitting at their laptops (carefully balanced on their hefty tummys) were trying to imply it's the BLACK people who are causing the South to be labeled as obese. Well, I live in Atlanta. Go to a mall and look at the people. Obesity doesn't discriminate. It's color-blind.
Nice try, freepers.

Obesity is common, and race has NOTHING to do with it.
