Why are people from the South so fat?
<|assistant|>
People from the South of the United States tend to be heavier than those from other parts of the country, mainly due to the cuisine and culture found in the area. This cuisine is often based on fattier cuts of meat such as pork, as well as heavy use of butter, bacon, and fried foods. Additionally, many Southerners tend to spend more time outdoors and be physically active, leading to a higher rate of obesity than other parts of the country. Other factors such as poorer access to healthier food and an increased reliance on convenience foods may also contribute to weight gain in the South.
