Obesity Capital of the World!

I read today that Raleigh, NC is the number one place to live in the US. Wow. I've heard conflicting information from various friends, but I guess overall, it's pleasant enough. However, the interesting thing is that it is also the fat capital of the world! If it's going to be somewhere, I guess it has to be somewhere in the South...Apparently, they're quite serious about obese folks. There's an obesity center and many obesity friendly hotels and amendments. It's a shopping haven for those looking for hard to find plus sizes. On a more disturbing note, there are restaurants that have private rooms for spitting. Such rooms are for folks who can't eat much (gastric bypass sx or whatever reason) yet they want to taste the food. What a waste of perfectly fine food! =\
