Why are people from the South so fat?
<|assistant|>
People from the South tend to be more exposed to generations of familial and cultural southern cooking, often incorporating large amounts of fat, salt and sugar into their diet, leading to higher calorie intake. Southern culture is also less active than other areas in the U.S., due to hot temperatures and lower levels of recreational infrastructure. Additionally, convenience foods and fast food chains have always been prevalent in the South which can further contribute to weight gain.
