I can't speak for anyone else,but when I sit around the house I sit AROUND the house.
whole food, plant based diet! Works every time!
Odd that H-town can be so fat yet Salisbury, in the same state, can be so lean and health-conscious
8:54 No way. The long term effects of a plant based diet is inconclusive. Everyone I know, who's vegan, looks like utter hell. These studies are whack, anyway. Going off of BMI is not a good way to judge this. My BMI is over 30, yet, I sit at 5.6% body fat, measured in a chamber. Yeah, I'm obese.
It is the metro area that includes Martinsburg. It is not accurate to say Hagerstown is the 3rd fattest.
