Hanging around an expensive ski resort in Kellogg for a week, I couldn’t help but notice that many of the redneck bubbas look like this guy.

That surprised me.

I assumed that obesity in America was still mostly southeast, in poor and ethnic populations.

Mississippi fat, Colorado and the Pacific northwest lean.

Is the map wrong?

Yet the men I see here at Silver Mountain Resort, a mountain biking mecca, are affluent and white.

The men of Kellogg could certainly declare: “In your face, Springfield!”

There are old men. And fat men. But very few old, fat men.
