It really doesn't matter what area.... Americans, on the average, are morbidly unhealthy - walking medical disasters. This is true in the Northwest, the South, the Southeast, the Southwest, the ... well, you get the idea. Except for the rare walking city (like SFO or NY), morbid obesity is completely out of hand.
Despite me supporting universal health care - I'd almost rather see a national mandate to trim and slim to improve basic health *status*.
My friends from Japan and Korea are universally appalled when they visit, my wife has not changed shape in 20 years yet has moved from size 4 to size 0 minus (the industry shifting numbers to make the fat happy they're a "size 6") -- and worst of all, all I have to do is walk the mall to feel thin when I'm actually 20 pounds overweight.
