My understanding is that fat is actually pushing the guts out of the body cavity. Most women don't show beer bellies, but they are as heavy, on the average, as the men. Because I'm thin, Southern women seldom find me attractive, but I have the opposite problem. S ome have argued that the cause for the heft is the nature of different kinds of people. But, while I know we're not all the same, I don't believe there is any genetic reason why almost everyone is overweight in some areas.
Weight is more connected to culture than it is to genes.
S outhern roads are a dream to ride on. The woods come right up to the roads. The weather for nine months a year is outstanding. June, July, and especially August. December, January, and February do include rotten days, but there are nice days as well, with temperatures up to the 60's and 70's.
