Flash Company remarks on finding a lot of overweight people in one shopping center....

I do find that certain areas/situations are different. A number of years ago, a friend & I had occasion to be on two different college campuses on two successive weekends.

In Fort Collins, Colorado, we were amazed by the number of slim, 'cute', coeds wandering about. The next week, in Omaha, Nebraska, we were startled by the proportion of ummmm...'hefty' coeds in tight jeans.

Now, we didn't do any fancy demographic research to figure out the realtionship of town and school to relative figure type, but it 'might' be interesting. I have read that the deep south, with certain dietary habits, has a larger proportion of...well, largeness....and I'm sure that educational levels are relevant too.

Maybe there's a thesis there for somone.
