    Oh Simon, you would have to take to your bed if, for some bizarre reason, you ever found yourself people-watching on the beach in Galveston. I know I did.

    Who can afford to buy food in NYC? And plus, it's freaking heavy to carry groceries home. Half my exercise for the week is carrying groceries home.

    I swear, every time I see a fat person in Manhattan, I think "man, they must be making bank to afford all that food..."

    Seriously, about the wheelchair in the airport thing- if you're in danger of suffering a knee blowout, it's time to reflect.

    @scroll_lock: I worked at Newark Airport for many years. The large majority of people that requested wheelchairs were, well, large. You have to ask, are they fat because they don't walk, or do they not walk because they're fat?

    To get and remain really fat in New York City, a person has to either eat nonstop or have a serious gladular condition. Or maybe just never leave the apartment.
    And I want Simon Doonan, Fatist, to adopt me.

    I'm appalled by men Simon's age who can't tie their own Windsor knots, fatty or whatnot.

    @jupiterspaw: Oops, I know I misspelled whiskey but the MAN (meaning my computer) is not letting me edit my comment, even though my allotted 15 minutes is far from up. Or, if you want the true story, I'm drinking with Kiefer at 10:30 a.m. and am just too bombed to spell words correctly.

    I also think Manhattan attracts a lot of highly educated people, and highly educated people tend to be more informed about their own health. Not to say that there aren't exceptions obviously...I know this is a sweeping statement, but I don't think it's that far fetched. Also, all the walking.

    @YanaNausicaa: Most people who drive cars everyplace probably walk less than 1/2 mile per day and eat their meals at Dennys, McDonald's, and Applebee's.

    Dainty wimps tend to be thin.

    How about a Times piece on why the state of New York can't produce any NFL talent? Louisiana - a state with less than 1/4th the population of NY - has produced 2x as many current NFL players. Amazing.

    @MediaZombie: The majority of NY public schools don't have football teams because it's expensive. Equipment is expensive. Insurance is expensive. You have to have a football field. Teams to play against.

    The other reason is that football is not a religion in New York. Not even in the districts where football is played.

    @valet_of_the_dolls: There's definitely a deeper level to competitive sports than mere distraction, esp. for those who actually participate. I'd like to think DeLillo came closest to capturing the nihilism at the heart of ritual warfare in End Zone.
