More like big lardos. Why is America so fat?

My son, who lives in Oakland CA, recently went to a Formula 1 race in Indianapolis. There was a mix of Americans and Europeans there. I guess F1 is big enoug for Euros to visit Indy. He said that he could easily distinguish the Euros from the LARDASS Americans. Then he noted that Americans on the East and West coasts are more normarally sized than those from the "Heartland."

I note that GW Bush's power base is in that region, too. And that the coasts are mostly Dems.

And I wondered: Are Republicans congenitally tubby?
