A few weeks ago on a family vacation I made a pit stop along one of I-95’s fast-food dominated rest areas. I stood in horror at the sheer size of the people ambling out of their SUVs to load up on burgers, soda and fries. They were beyond just overweight or “fat”. I would say about half were morbidly obese. It was the intersection of our nation’s problems with automobiles, industrial food system and poor land use policies, all of which produced people that could barely manage to walk across the parking lot to load up on more empty calories.
