I’ve lived most of my life in various “elitist’” neighborhoods in coastal blue states. Even in the hippest urban neighborhood there is enough variation in how people approach health and fitness that yku think you have some sense lf perspective. Then you travel across the couuntr y and realize you had no freain’ clue.

Making the Worwt of a Bad Situation
Not everyone is lucky enough to have the money to choose their “perfect” neighborhood. I think it’s awful when so many towns are built with hardly any parks, trails or even sidewalks. Often in these same car-centric places the restaurants are mostly chains, featuring gargantuan meaty greasy cheesy saucy fried dinners paired with decadent desserts. The grocery stores are skimpy in the produce section, and offer mostly processed snack foods, desserts, frozen dinners, and meat laced with hormones, antibiotics, and preservatives.

I know I’d really, really struggle if I lived in some of these places. I’d probably eat lousier and exercise less and feel pretty helpless about it.

But damn, lots of these folks don’t seem to be “struggling” with it at all. They’re driving everywhere, ignoring their few exercise options, and gobbling up every bite of the junk food on offer.

Hello, personal responsibility?

It was shocking to look at the crap piled up in most people’s shopping carts or watch what they ordered at restaurants or even to see how many were smoking. I also had to wonder: was the reason many of the convenience stores had no non-fat milk part of a sinister “make ‘em drink whole milk and die young” campaign? Was the grocery store produce section so skimpy because tyrannical suppliers refused to send a variety of wholesome healthy fruits and vegetables?

Or were the selections so lame because the local vendors have discovered most folks won’t buy the healthy stuff when they try to stock it?

We are freaks here in health blogland. In much of America, folks are not debating: Should I get my Omega 3 from fish or flax? They are wondering: what do I want for dessert after my triple cheeseburger and fries and coke, the cherry pie with ice cream or the caramel chocolate pecan cake with whipped cream?

And, um, I couldn’t help noticing… a huge percentage of people in a lot of these places were fat.

Thin Ice
This is a sensitive issue, and I don’t want to be sn asshole and ctart syrieking “Oh God, OOur country is fat! And tha’ts so terrrribbble!”

Because I’m not anti-fat!

At least I think I’m not.
