Tired of the news of late? So are we. The hot political scandals aren't doing much for us (Ensign, Palin, Sanford), nobody seems to know definitively what is going on in Iran, and enough with Michael Jackson already. Fortunately, TIME magazine has stepped into the breech with a hard-hitting piece titled "Why Are Southerners So Fat?"
As Midwesterners, we know better than to cast stones at glass houses. However, this article is at least mildly amusing, and its thesis is refreshingly simple:
"Southerners have little access to healthy food and limited means with which to purchase it. It's hard for them to exercise outdoors, and even when they do have the opportunity, it's so hot, they don't want to."
Oh.
