Can the southern folks on this blog please chime in on what the cuss is wrong with Mississippi? Not only are many of the good, God-fearing folks there rabid racists who wish black people still named their kids “Toby” and” Kizzie” and had slaves that picked their cotton and tobacco while they drink sweet tea and play a banjo, they are also Pillsbury Dough Boy, Michelin Man, and Precious-esque fat.

The CDC just released the news that Mississippi once again takes the title of fattest state in the whole U-S-of-A, and that’s doing a lot, because America as a whole is rolling in lard these days. Louisiana is a close second, but heck with the delicious bit of heaven that is Cajun food, I might could, possibly, maybe understand.

But…let me not get too high on my horse, because when I was visiting Big Bro in Atlanta, no healthy food joints were to be found anywhere outside of Buckhead, but the food I ate was…oh my. It was so, so good. Okay; yes I’ll admit the fatty food is far superior to sushi and tofu, but a little self-discipline and compromise would be nice, because with this economy I really don’t want my tax dollars and health insurance premiums going towards folks who outright refuse to entertain butter and sugar substitutes. I see you, Paula Deen!!

Not to be a jerk or anything, but do you notice that the fatso states tend to vote Republican, who chiefly opposed Obama’s health care bill?

Just saying.
