Some of you who aren't from Texas may laugh at this phone call but I actually am from that very state and I have to say that this really isn't that funny. This is what nine out of every ten Texans would probably do.

Texas eats horribly.

So do people who live in other states.

"So do people who live in other states"

Thanks entirely to the birth of fast food.

Anywho, does anyone remember the documentary Super Size Me? In it he said that when he goes to the McDonald's he would only super size when they asked and when he was Texas, he was asked if he wanted super size more times than any other McDonald's he has been to. Plus the movie also said that Texas is home to a majority of the fattest cities in America.

"You got 3 men, over 200 lbs each.."


Maybe those guys should go on a diet.

I was at my thinnest living in Texas for 31 years. Obesity and bad eating habits are everywhere. So are choices. Texas has more than just fast food. As a matter of fact, it is the birthplace of Whole Foods. I mean, it's not as if there is some sort of law requiring people to eat fast food in Texas (much to everyone's surprise).

Yes, Texas had five cities listed in the fattest cities in America for 2006. It is also the largest state in the continental US, which is not surprising given the law of averages. California also had five. And the city of Chicago held the #1 spot in 2006.

Unfortunately, my office blocks youtube, so I cannot hear the contents of the call, but I am very curious to hear what "nine out of ten Texans would probably do".
