Like it or not San Antonio is full of super fat disgusting people

[poop]

I live here and i like it but Barkley is completely right.

San antonio is consistently one of the top 5 fattest cities in america, which is itself the fattest nation on earth. Number 2 is mexico. San antonio is filled these people.

All things considered, san antonio is not only one of the fattest cities in the world, but in the history of the world.

In all of human history, there are only a few other places on earth that can put up as many heffers as modern day san antonio, tx.

It has got so bad, that being obese-not eve fat, but obese- IS THE NORM. If you are an adult and not fat, YOU ARE THE WEIRD ONE. The horror is that these bovines are so used to being surrounded by other cattle that they dont even have any shame anymore. Anyone going about their daily business can see these fat shits people waddling around, sweat stains all over their 'clothes', guts so big they are hanging out from under their shirts, mystery pouches on 'women', spare tires so grotesque it looks like they really do have in intertube around their waist under their shirt, asses so huge and deformed thatylook like their own species of animal, and legs so thick and full of ripples and cottage cheese and moist from sweat its hard to keep your lunch down. Fuck these people.

Barkely is right. This city needs to do something about our 'fat culture'. Is gets more serious when you see all these little kids that are like 5-10 years old and they are alredy so fat they look like a balloon thats about to burst and are on the brink of needing a breathing machine and probably already have diabetes. Fuck their parents. Fucking disgusting obese pigs

[spursfan1000]

tbh if healthy food wasnt so expensive

[EVAY]

let's not re-litigate the whole fat thing, please.

That horse was dead before Barkley started beating on it, and now beating on whether or not Barkley was right to say what he did is just to flay a similarly cadaverous equine.

Let it go.

Its not, that is a bs excuse and always has been

Yep, the OP and his first post.

I imagine you scarffing down some blue bell ice cream at your junk food wrapper covered computer station typing with a furious passion. The sweat pouring down your face, from the extranious work of typing, mixes with the melting ice cream dripping from the corners of your mouth.

Just another day at the office for you.

'TheWriter' seems really upset by this...its probably safe to say hes one of the people described above :D

To be fair, finding healthy food in the US is a pain. The supermarkets are full of cheap processed food everywhere. I used to buy everything at wholefood and it's like buying food in a pharmacy, fucking carrots are as expensive as a box of advil.

All the stuff around doing sports, walking is pissing in the ocean if you cannot find healthy food for a reasonable price. And I'm not talking about junk food restaurants...dear god finding a healthy restaurant is like finding skinny people in San Antonio.

[Mugen]

You can eat shitty food and not be fat. Just don't eat until you're full as shit tbh.

Beans and Rice are inexpensive. I don't eat any saturated fats. That is what will get you fatter as quick as anything. Problem in SA, most of the food is riddle with it. Too many restaurants and fast food joints. Who wants to cook healthy there.

Go to the Farmers Market, whatever city you live. Its usually local people who have small farms and sell their produce for a much cheaper price than Whole Foods.

[Shastafarian]

Saturated fat has more to do with heart disease than being the "cause" of obesity. Calories are the cause of obesity, regardless of where they come from.

Quoted for truth.

How hard of a concept is it for people to understand that food is fuel that gives your body energy. If your body has too.much fuel and your body isn't using it as energy, your body will then begin to stockpile it. That is the fat in your body.

You could eat nothing but fatty foods and lose weight. Hell, that's the keto diet.

Moderation and exercise/using the fuel as energy are key to losing weight.

If you burn more calories than you take.in, you lose weight. If you take in more calories than you burn.off, you gain weight. It's that simple.

Farmers Market are nice but not that easy to find and it's not a very flexible option.

Fast food restaurants are awful but so called big chains like apple bees, chili, olive garden... are in the same vein of processed cheap food. I discovered while living in the US they add fucking sugar in the bread, salad, sauces... there is sugar everywhere, you cannot escape. I'm skinny as fuck and I took 8 kg in 1 year in the US which never happened to me before, finding healthy food became a major concern... that is crazy. I never experimented that elsewhere in the world. The food business in the US is totally fucked up.

Even organic food is fucked up, you can find like 10 different kinds of organic chicken: the one who saw the light enhanced with drugs, the one who saw the light but raised in cages with no drugs, the one who had space to run but enhanced with drugs etc etc and finally the "normal" one fed with corn, outside cost was crazy...

Obesity issue will never ever be solved in the US if there is no solution to fast food and finding healthy food cheap.

I understand you pov but look at my example, I don't do a lot of exercise anymore almost nothing, I have 0 knowledge on nutrition, 0. I never ever had an issue with my weight, sugar or fat level in my blood... Food has never been a concern for me. In the US I followed the same kind of diet, level of exercice than in France, Brazil, Spain, all the places I lived and I took 8 freaking kilos (18 pounds) in one year. I moved from US and lost all in 3 months following the same exact habits than in the US.

Food industry is totally fucked up

Saturated fat has more to do with heart disease than being the "cause" of obesity. Calories are the cause of obesity, regardless of where they come from.

Saturated Fats will get you fat fast. I'll eat a pint of ice cream w/ no fat just high calories and you eat a 16 oz bag of Lays chips (high saturated and medium calorie) a day for a month. I guarantee you will be put on more pounds than me in a shorter period of time.

Normal Calories burn easier than ones from saturated fats. Problem with people in SA, they eat too much saturated fats along with Calorie intake. And their calories consist of crap like High Fructose Syrup and stuff.

You can have a high daily Calorie intake. But if it comes from natural fruits, meats and veggies, you won't get fat. You might be a little stout, but you won't be fat. But you change that to junk food (same calorie intake), you will look like the Bobcats Diaw as oppose to the Spurs version of Diaw.

Calorie vs. Fat Calories. Fat Calories get you fatter quicker than Calories from carbs and sugars. Natural Carbs and Sugars digest easier than processed calories and sugars (high fructose syrup, etc.).

So in short, saturated fats (the worse for you) and processed calories will get you fatter than healthy natural fats and calories.

Really, just go read an exercise science book. My wife preaches this kind of stuff to me all the time from all the health magazine and websites she reads. And my sister does holistic advising on the side. So I hear about this stuff all the time from them.

So in short, saturated fats (the worse for you) and processed calories will get you fatter than healthy natural fats and calories. Based on which studies?

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

http://www.drmcdougall.com/health/education/health-science/featured-articles/articles/fat-or-carbs-which-is-worse/

Dr. Weil’s position runs contrary to several irrefutable observations that you can make for yourself. Starches have fueled the engines of human civilizations for at least the past 14,000 years. Carbohydrates (starches), such as rice in Asia, corn in Central America, potatoes in South America, and barley and wheat in Europe, have provided the bulk of the calories for almost all human diets. Only a few small primitive populations, living at the extremes of the environment, such as the Inuit (Eskimos), have been fueled by saturated fats. Just as undeniable, worldwide today, populations of people who consume the greatest amounts of carbohydrate are the trimmest and fittest, and also have the lowest incidence of heart disease and diabetes. This truth is confirmed by observing the change that occurs when people from Japan, for example, migrate to the United States or Europe. As they eat less rice (carbohydrate) and more saturated fat (meat and dairy products) they become fatter and sicker.

Shastafarian, you say they is no difference but there has been numerous studies to prove otherwise. They conducted such experiment on people from Okinawa, where they eat rice (high carbs) and fats (fish), all natural. They ate the same amount of carbs and saturated fats that's processed from American foods and got fat.

Like I said, just go read about it. Then you will see why majority of people in SA are fat.

[The Reckoning]

i never really noticed how disgustingly fat people in texas can be until i moved out of the country...specificially corpus and san antonio.


yeah you can say obesity rates are fine, but i'm talking so fucking fat they require two seats on an airplane. i thought that was everywhere until i left and came back after a few years then it hit me.


i was at jason's deli and some heifer (i'm talking a huge chunk nugget) was getting a "salad." eating so healthy right? she put every fucking topping on there known to man including half a bottle of hidden valley ranch. i mean my god she was eating a calorie soup with some garnish on the bottom. people are disgusting as hell in texas. and don't cry about "healthy foods."

A calorie is a calorie you hard headed person.

One calorie is one calorie no matter the source. If that one calorie came from a steak, if that one calorie came from a soda drink or if that one calorie came from a slice of bread.

It's the intake of said calories that determine whether or not you gain weight.

Again, a calorie is not a calorie. There are various types of calories and if you read my initial points, that is what I was trying to explain. Some healthy carbs, some processed carbs, some from natural fats, some from process Fats.

There are different type of carbs, different types sugars, different type of fats, etc etc (all these forms of calories).

True that. I was in Vancouver, B.C. a couple of months ago and I literally counted five fat people the whole week I stayed there. People were always walking, taking public transport and yes, even though there was the occasional fast food joint, the ratio of regular restaurants to fast food
places was insane. Gyms were packed and parks were being fully utilized. Hundreds of people were walking, running and biking at Stanley Park. The whole trip was an eye-opening experience.

[Brazil]

I disagree, nobody wants to be fat. They don't have always the choice in the foods, healthy food is expensive as fuck and then you have the cultural stuff around food. fat people are most of the time suffering, they need a bit of help. and again food industry is fucked up. French don't do much more exercise than in the US but they walk more for sure, use of the car is less important and there is a tradition of walking and healthy food is affordable and everywhere.

A calorie is a unit measurement but can have different sources. So a calorie from process saturated fat, isn't the same as a calorie from natural wheat. That is where I am getting at with the OUNCE of gold (calories from wheat) is not the same as an OUNCE of iron (calories from saturated fat, which was my first point made in this thread). I guess I have write a dissertation next time I want to explain something.

I can agree with some of that. True, most people don't want to be fat, and sure not everyone can eat healthy per se. Heck, I don't eat right a lot of the time. However, you can still control your exercise. Park farther away when you go shopping, take the stairs instead of taking an elevator/escalator, go for a bike ride, etc. There should be no excuse for not getting any exercise if your health permits it.

It's bad when you can get a handicap parking spot due to being obese, and then ride around the store in a mobilized wheelchair. :lol

[TheWriter]

I heard you already have had days in the 90s.

Sure, but so has New York, Los Angeles and San Diego.

BTW, those 90s were low humidity days and very comfortable.

Actually, a lot of the processed fats and sugars are banned in Canada and various countries. Its a cultural thing but its also like the saying goes, "you are what you eat."

This article just shows a small list of American additives and foods banned by other countries

90s is not comfortable. You want me to go to the weather channel and count the number of days it hit over 85 in san antonio this year as compared to New York? The weather in san antonio sucks

[The Reckoning]

i'm not a nutritionist but i've always been skinny, and the way i look at food is you have four different uses for them...energy (carbs), rebuilding your body (protein), cleaning your body (fiber), and protecting your body (vitamins). i just cook one of each for dinner every night....then i can drink, smoke, screw, whatever and i still feel/look healthy

[The Reckoning]

THIS.


if you look at american history, a major contributing factor to the downfall of native american tribes was their over reliance on corn. they didn't have enough nutrition to fight off smallpox and their dental health drastically changed.


it's a shitty crop, but it's convenient. as long as the US subsidizes corn farmers, we'll continuously have a shit diet because corn syrup makes you hungry. it doesn't fill you up.

I don't live in SA anymore, but from my experiences, It's not the so much the heat but the humidity which retains the heat. It can get up to like 90% humidity for long stretches. And the clay dirt surfaces for yards don't help as that crap retains the heat even more. Plus the trees are like bushes and provide next to none shade. Your thankful when you neighbor has a Pecan or Oak tree in their yard and blocks out the sun for a few hours.

[hyhy]

I live here and i like it but Barkley is completely right.

San antonio is consistently one of the top 5 fattest cities in america, which is itself the fattest nation on earth. Number 2 is mexico. San antonio is filled these people.

All things considered, san antonio is not only one of the fattest cities in the world, but in the history of the world.

In all of human history, there are only a few other places on earth that can put up as many heffers as modern day san antonio, tx.

It has got so bad, that being obese-not eve fat, but obese- IS THE NORM. If you are an adult and not fat, YOU ARE THE WEIRD ONE. The horror is that these bovines are so used to being surrounded by other cattle that they dont even have any shame anymore. Anyone going about their daily business can see these fat shits people waddling around, sweat stains all over their 'clothes', guts so big they are hanging out from under their shirts, mystery pouches on 'women', spare tires so grotesque it looks like they really do have in intertube around their waist under their shirt, asses so huge and deformed thatylook like their own species of animal, and legs so thick and full of ripples and cottage cheese and moist from sweat its hard to keep your lunch down. Fuck these people.

Barkely is right. This city needs to do something about our 'fat culture'. Is gets more serious when you see all these little kids that are like 5-10 years old and they are alredy so fat they look like a balloon thats about to burst and are on the brink of needing a breathing machine and probably already have diabetes. Fuck their parents. Fucking disgusting obese pigs

Not true. There was a period of time in China where Fat was considered Beautiful.

I live in Atlanta, and even the Suburbs have trees and big ones. I can run in my neighbor mid-summer and probably a mile of my 4 mile run is in the sun if that.

San Antonio in the North/Northeast is just plains with a few mesquite trees. West/Southwest is Hill country or clay surface with next to none trees. SA river runs from Northwest to South East SA. That is where you have the most trees.

Dallas has trees every where. In the suburbs they have pine trees. SA biggest trees are Oak and Pecan and they mostly can be found close to the River. Elsewhere is most just mesquite trees with a few Oak and Pecan trees. That is why South Texas is know for its BBQ because its mesquite heaven down there.

True that. I was in Vancouver, B.C. a couple of months ago and I literally counted five fat people the whole week I stayed there. People were always walking, taking public transport and yes, even though there was the occasional fast food joint, the ratio of regular restaurants to fast food
places was insane. Gyms were packed and parks were being fully utilized. Hundreds of people were walking, running and biking at Stanley Park. The whole trip was an eye-opening experience.

Yeah, quite the shock when I was in New Zealand a couple of years ago and literally the only fat people were the American and British tourists. It seemed like a salad was a central part of every dinner plate I ever got there, and a real salad with lots of nice veggies, not some leafs of lettuce, a ton of bacon and a mound of ranch like salad is in the US. Plus they bring you a big carafe of water everywhere before you order, which is a practice that seems like it's dying out in the US. Here you order water instead of empty-calorie Cokes or Budeweisers and the waiter thinks you're cheap or something.

As you can see, the San Antonio metro area is home to four different vegetational areas.

And then there's this:

San Antonio has the most extensive tree cover of any major U.S. city. Even with its semi-arid climate, San Antonio's tree canopy of 38 percent ranks first among the nation's 50 largest cities.

Notice two are PRAIRiES. Prairies usually mean they don't have too many trees. They are in the Northeast and Soutwest areas of SA like I said.

Point being, you are making fun of Rascal of not wanting to go outside in 90 degree weather. I honestly don't believe you ever been in SA in the summer. Rascal could every well live in one of the areas that don't have many trees. And when SA is know to have 100 degree weather for 80-90% of the summer days with 80-90% humidity, with large areas not having trees, I hardly think anyone would want to go outside if you live in those conditions.

SA is not SD. One time it was 81 degrees outside on Christmas day in SA. That's SA for you.

I never made fun of him. I laughed at him arguing something subjective.

Also, whenever it's 100 degrees in San Antonio during the summer, it's never 90% humidity.

Lastly, I've experienced over 25 San Antonio summers.

78 degrees in SD with the Ocean Breeze is nothing compare to SA. SA humidity mostly stays around 80% but it can get up to 90% and those days are the worse.

So you say its subjective. You have experience 25 years of SA Summers. Tell me, did you go outside for a 5 mile run when it was 100+ degrees outside, 80% humidity.

[baseline bum]

Yeah, 80-90% humidity isn't even really possible on 90 degree days. That would be mid 80s dewpoints, which don't even happen in Mississippi and Alabama, much less Texas. Daytime summer dewpoints are usually in the low 70s (which feels horrible) and nighttime dew points are usually in the high 70s.

[doobs]

What a stupid thread. San Antonio is fat because most of the city is a spread out commuterville and everyone eats lardy Tex-Mex and BBQ. It has nothing to do with lack of trees or access to healthy food, lol. People from SA don't choose to be fat exactly; but they do choose a certain lifestyle that leads to fatness, despite the plentiful opportunities in SA to eat well and be active.

You have to be a fucking moron to think GMOs or nonorgranic food is to blame, btw. It's all about calories in, calories out. That's it.

It was 82 degrees with 25 percent humidity. It was a very very comfortable day.

[Skull-1]

Not only are they fat, they're inbred Demonrats. Fools.

[baseline bum]

100 degrees with 80% relative humidity would be a heat index in the 130s or 140s. Really nasty summer days are usually high 90s with 50% relative humidity. But it consistently hits 100% relative humidity at night in the high 70s temperature-wise, which is why it feels horrible to go outside at 4AM in the summer. Most of the time it hits the 100s in summer I welcome it, because it's often from dry desert air coming in and dropping the dewpoints into the 60s.

Exactly. The hotter it is, the lower the humidity. Overnight and Mornings are yuck but evenings when the sun is fixing to set is very pleasant relative to the rest of the day. It's porch weather at that point,

All things considered, san antonio is not only one of the fattest cities in the world, but in the history of the world.

In all of human history, there are only a few other places on earth that can put up as many heffers as modern day san antonio, tx.

It has got so bad, that being obese-not eve fat, but obese- IS THE NORM. If you are an adult and not fat, YOU ARE THE WEIRD ONE. The horror is that these bovines are so used to being surrounded by other cattle that they dont even have any shame anymore. Anyone going about their daily business can see these fat shits people waddling around, sweat stains all over their 'clothes', guts so big they are hanging out from under their shirts, mystery pouches on 'women', spare tires so grotesque it looks like they really do have in intertube around their waist under their shirt, asses so huge and deformed thatylook like their own species of animal, and legs so thick and full of ripples and cottage cheese and moist from sweat its hard to keep your lunch down. Fuck these people.

Barkely is right. This city needs to do something about our 'fat culture'. Is gets more serious when you see all these little kids that are like 5-10 years old and they are alredy so fat they look like a balloon thats about to burst and are on the brink of needing a breathing machine and probably already have diabetes. Fuck their parents. Fucking disgusting obese pigs

so basically you think people can not think for themselves and the gov needs to do everything for people

[The Whopper]

I never understand these "my city is better than your city' debates. People have different tastes and reasons for living in a particular place.

Is the weather in SA perfect? No. But at least its pleasant most of the cooler months and locals know how to keep their head down during the heat of a summer day.

It's not like this is East Germany and no one can leave. If it sucked so bad, it wouldn't be growing so quickly.

Complete and total irrelevance aside, my issue with Barkley's comments is that 1) he doesn't talk about how fat San Antonians are, he only talks about how fat San Antonio women are, 2) he's the goddamn spokesman for Weight Watchers for fuck's sake, and 3) he's been making those inane remarks since what, 2007? He hasn't just been beating a dead horse, he's been whacking the shit out of it for literally years now. It's old, it's a tiny bit unfair since he's only targeting women, and it has no place being discussed any further here.

A calorie is a unit measurement but can have different sources. So a calorie from process saturated fat, isn't the same as a calorie from natural wheat. That is where I am getting at with the OUNCE of gold (calories from wheat) is not the same as an OUNCE of iron (calories from saturated fat, which was my first point made in this thread). I guess I have write a dissertation next time I want to explain something.

Agree: Your body processes calories differently as to the sources the calories come from.

[rascal]

I don't live in SA anymore, but from my experiences, It's not the so much the heat but the humidity which retains the heat. It can get up to like 90% humidity for long stretches. And the clay dirt surfaces for yards don't help as that crap retains the heat even more. Plus the trees are like bushes and provide next to none shade. Your thankful when you neighbor has a Pecan or Oak tree in their yard and blocks out the sun for a few hours.

The clay dirt is a result of dead dry grass that burns up in the summer heat.

[rascal]

I live in Atlanta, and even the Suburbs have trees and big ones. I can run in my neighbor mid-summer and probably a mile of my 4 mile run is in the sun if that.

San Antonio in the North/Northeast is just plains with a few mesquite trees. West/Southwest is Hill country or clay surface with next to none trees. SA river runs from Northwest to South East SA. That is where you have the most trees.

Dallas has trees every where. In the suburbs they have pine trees. SA biggest trees are Oak and Pecan and they mostly can be found close to the River. Elsewhere is most just mesquite trees with a few Oak and Pecan trees. That is why South Texas is know for its BBQ because its mesquite heaven down there.

Unless the trees were planted because naturally the San Antonio area is not forest with dense tall trees like it is in the northern part of the country.

[spursfan1000]

Yeah, if only a can of soup or cup of noodles was cheaper than 3 hamburgers...
tbh u cant eat that everyday

[rascal]

Yeah, 80-90% humidity isn't even really possible on 90 degree days. That would be mid 80s dewpoints, which don't even happen in Mississippi and Alabama, much less Texas. Daytime summer dewpoints are usually in the low 70s (which feels horrible) and nighttime dew points are usually in the high 70s.

In the northeast it is often hot and humid when it does get hot.

It can be hot and humid any day of the year in San Antonio even Christmas, just is more consistent with day after day the higher temps and a bit lower humidity in the summer.

Now you are exaggerating. You must be a sensitive Texan who feels the need to defend anything that someone may say that is not so great about Texas.
I find Texans to be overly sensitive about anything anti-Texas.

It's obvious you're as hard headed as cowboy and will simply ignore the facts just to spew your nonsense.

This ends my participation in this conversation with you.

I gave you facts(15 days already this year in the 90s), you are the one ignoring facts.

I live here and i like it but Barkley is completely right.

San antonio is consistently one of the top 5 fattest cities in america, which is itself the fattest nation on earth. Number 2 is mexico.

Mexico is the fattest nation on earth. http://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/health/mexico-surpasses-u-s-world-fattest-nation-report-article-1.1393801

We're second because half of them moved here.

[hsxvvd]

I'll chime in as a recent visitor to Texas.

Dallas wins with the most hotties.

San Antonio comes in second, with plenty of hot latino women, including some of those full figured girls.

Houston comes in dead last with a bunch of skanky crackheads. Only decent woman I met there was from San Antonio!

[SpurYank]

You remind me of the pot calling the kettle black, as does Charles. Both of you obviously are not well read. Fully one third of Americans are obese or fat. At last count, that was well over ONE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE. S.A. is not the fattest city in America. Charles, however, "fills the bill" to be a member of THAT city. Where do you stand?

[boutons_deux]

"you obviously are not well read. Fully one third of Americans are obese or fat."

:lol YOU are not well read

2/3 of Americans are overweight, while 1/3 are obese.

Who's the attractive young woman they showed on TNT's Inside Stuff that Barkley said "they flew in from Dallas"? I've seen her in someone's sig where she's applauding the team. I noticed she seemed to be with Armando Montelongo's group (he, along with his wife were in the background wearing similar white t-shirts). Armando is the real estate guy who's on the cable show about flipping homes here in San Antonio.

[TampaDude]

Quoted for truth.

How hard of a concept is it for people to understand that food is fuel that gives your body energy. If your body has too.much fuel and your body isn't using it as energy, your body will then begin to stockpile it. That is the fat in your body.

You could eat nothing but fatty foods and lose weight. Hell, that's the keto diet.

Moderation and exercise/using the fuel as energy are key to losing weight.

If you burn more calories than you take.in, you lose weight. If you take in more calories than you burn.off, you gain weight. It's that simple.

^ this ftw, tbh

Wasn't that Timmy's girlfriend? Mysa.com just rehashed an old story about them from 3 months ago.

You're right. It was. She looked different from other photos I've seen. I'm surprised TNT didn't know who she was. Here's some pics I was talking about.

San antonio is consistently one of the top 5 fattest cities in america, which is itself the fattest nation on earth. Number 2 is mexico. San antonio is filled these people.

All things considered, san antonio is not only one of the fattest cities in the world, but in the history of the world.

In all of human history, there are only a few other places on earth that can put up as many heffers as modern day san antonio, tx.

It has got so bad, that being obese-not eve fat, but obese- IS THE NORM. If you are an adult and not fat, YOU ARE THE WEIRD ONE. The horror is that these bovines are so used to being surrounded by other cattle that they dont even have any shame anymore. Anyone going about their daily business can see these fat shits people waddling around, sweat stains all over their 'clothes', guts so big they are hanging out from under their shirts, mystery pouches on 'women', spare tires so grotesque it looks like they really do have in intertube around their waist under their shirt, asses so huge and deformed thatylook like their own species of animal, and legs so thick and full of ripples and cottage cheese and moist from sweat its hard to keep your lunch down. Fuck these people.

Barkely is right. This city needs to do something about our 'fat culture'. Is gets more serious when you see all these little kids that are like 5-10 years old and they are alredy so fat they look like a balloon thats about to burst and are on the brink of needing a breathing machine and probably already have diabetes. Fuck their parents. Fucking disgusting obese pigs


Yep. Born and raised in San Antonio, now live in CA. Makes me nauseous every time I visit.

[crc21209]

What a shitty thread :lol. Send this topic to the Club forum..

[heyheymymy]

maybe if OKC could share its meth epidemic, san antonio could cut some of the flab off with a 3 day binge.

[heyheymymy]

lol at page 4 you guys are busting out charts and shit oh my god.

[rjv]

I live in Atlanta, and even the Suburbs have trees and big ones. I can run in my neighbor mid-summer and probably a mile of my 4 mile run is in the sun if that.

San Antonio in the North/Northeast is just plains with a few mesquite trees. West/Southwest is Hill country or clay surface with next to none trees. SA river runs from Northwest to South East SA. That is where you have the most trees.

Dallas has trees every where. In the suburbs they have pine trees. SA biggest trees are Oak and Pecan and they mostly can be found close to the River. Elsewhere is most just mesquite trees with a few Oak and Pecan trees. That is why South Texas is know for its BBQ because its mesquite heaven down there.


really, that's news to me because i live in cibolo just outside far NE san antonio and it is certainly not flat out there. lots of trees and sloped areas and even hills in garden ridge, converse, selma, universal city and new braunfels. "plains" would not be one way to describe that area at all. you may also want to check out some of the cypress trees in the cibolo/new braunfels area as well.

Worded not quite correctly but I get your point. 2/3 of americans are at least overweight, counting the obese. 1/3 are obese.

[Jimcs50]

Have to say that when I was at the game, my head was turning. There were a ton of hot ladies, not even close to being big. I think Charles has had a good influence on the SA women. They must have been hitting the gym this last year, because the hotties out numbered the fatties by a wide margin.

:toast

[TheRemix]

San Antonio has some decent women imo. of course there's going to be fat ugly people but that's all over the united states. Thing is, we shouldn't put them down. If they want to live like that then let them. it's not affecting you so why give a fuck.

[dbestpro]

The 10 most obese cities (by percentage):

Huntington-Ashland, Oh. (39.5);

McCallen, Texas (38.3);

Haggerstown, Md. (36.7);

Yakima, Wash. (35.7);

Little Rock, Ark. (35.1);

Charlestown, W. Va. (34.6);

Toledo, Ohio (34.2);

Clarksville, Tenn. (33.8);

Jackson, Miss. (33.8); and

Green Bay, Wis. (33.0);

A new report by the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization has found that Mexico has surpassed the United States as the world's fattest nation, with about 70 percent of its citizens being overweight or obese.

Just sayin.

[Prose]

Something that should be attributed to the obesity rate is the United States and in particular Texas CAR CULTURE. The city was built in a manner in which you can not walk any wear like in Europe. You have to get on a highway to get anywhere in San Antonio.
