Stroke South belt!
Sunday, April 6, 2008 | | |Last evening on my twenty miles fatigue, I stopped for a drink and noticed a newspaper item above by the name.
In case you missed it appears that the entire Deep South (except for Florida, which became a Yankee) was an incident many more shots than the rest of the country. And along a stretch between the Blue Ridge and the Sea (especially in the Carolinas), the incident is twice as high.
The article said that researchers were surprised.
Well, I am not, except I wonder why this belt is worse than anywhere else in the South. It has probably remained farther south!
In the tradition of the South, fat pork is cooked with all foods and included in every meal. The vegetables are cooked for a long time with large pieces of fat, or they are fried in fat (green tomatoes, okra, squash and sometimes). Almost all meat is fried, often dipped in batter and drops of fat. Includes French fries, corn dogs, Hush Puppies, and hash browns. The favorite "salad" slaw is, the more fat than green. My students have indicated that they would start after eating in the cafeteria (I've never been able to stomach either).
From the south do not believe in aerobic exercise. If ever I see someone on a bicycle, the poor soul trying to save up energy (and moving at roughly the same speed). Bike shops survive in the South mainly due to sales of mountain bikes, they should call sidewalk bikes here; only young people buy them and use them on sidewalks. If you are a man, you do not expect a woman to have to walk to the car, get the car to her. Thirty years ago, I saw a girls basketball game, there were ten girls in each team because they have been barred from running! They passed the ball from one court to another. Fortunately, this policy has changed.
While football is the # 1 spectator sport, the most common are the participation of sport golf and baseball. In golf, players use carts and never lift the golf bag or walk a hundred feet while the round holes. In baseball, which is much less common, players chew good time production equipment and are not useful until suddenly they have to Sprint. Of course, most people do not engage in these activities too harsh.
The beer is a common feature of the South. My understanding is that fat is actually the courage to push out of the abdominal cavity. Most women do not present a beer belly, but they are heavier on average than men. When I was a child at school, everybody laughed at me because I was thin! Years later when working construction, I was given advice on several occasions on how to fatten! Because I'm thin, rarely South women find me attractive, but I have the opposite problem.
Some have argued that the cause for the weight is the nature of different types of people. But even if I know that we are not all the same, I do not think there is any genetic reason why almost everyone is overweight in certain regions. At the University of Alabama, on the other hand, about 21000 students, there was not a fat coed anywhere (some had difficulty if). As I travel across the country, I notice I spend a "thin" and zones "bold" zones, that is where most people are thin and where most people are heavy. The weight is related to culture than genes.
Routes in the South are a dream to ride. Last night, I drove twenty miles and was adopted by fewer than twenty cars! While drivers are still quite ignorant on the bike, they are generally tolerant, I mainly on the lookout for stupid mistakes, like someone turning right after me. The woods come right up the road. Fences and non-trespassing signs are rare, I can stop hiking and anywhere. The time for nine months a year is pending. The poor month? June, July, August and in particular. Beginning November (Indian summer) is the most delicious climate anywhere in general. December, January, February and do not hesitate rotten day, but there are beautiful day and, with temperatures up to the 60's and 70's. In fact, we usually tickled to get a little snow. As I am a teacher, summer is a good time for me to ride my bike north. The terrain is ideal in Alabama, mostly flat, but some good small hills or mountains at hand is strengthened.
From the south have excuses for not rolling. Many people here argue that their ride bikes except to the hills. What Hills? Most roads are flat and are well sheltered from the wind by trees. Another excuse is traffic. What traffic? I hope they can see the Mennonites and Amish riding their bicycles in Michigan and Pennsylvania, where he is the traffic.
Although bicycles are rarely seen, cycling typical South is a joy to see. The vast majority of bikes are refugees from Wal-Mart and Kmart that have stood in the rain for years. Anything that is not painted is covered with rust (one wonders how the chain even managed to turn), the brakes are rusted solid rays are so loose that you can watch wiggle the wheel spins, and the ten-speed was a speed for the last twenty years (mostly in small-small combination). The tires are so cracked and under-inflated that you believe that the rider must go to the rim. Of course, the college of children were brand new chrome-moly ATV, but they treat their bikes the same way their parents, we know what a few years.
Do not use exotic terms with these bike riders. They do not "derail", "tooth", "rings", "change" and so forth. Some of them do not recognize that their bikes have brakes and gears, or how these things are supposed to work.
Now, you might think that these people are incredibly stupid. Not at all! Look in the garage in a suburban house: everything but the bike is in good condition. In the region, the fellow riding a bicycle collapse will take apart a carburetor and repair it within twenty minutes. The most intelligent person I ever knew rode a bicycle with two wheels in the fall (though not a Southerner).
They are not too weak to ride their bikes faster than a crawl. It is very popular in the South, and how men work hard. But the race? Taking works? These ideas are foreign, although men will be hunting in the fall. Women are more likely to go to the parkway than men, usually walks, but they get much less exercise otherwise. TV "aerobics" have become popular among young women, but not aerobics. Men who feel the need to exercise still lift weights.
If you are a Southerner, you might think that I say these things because I do not like the South. Once upon a time in the past when there was a strong hostility against the Yankees or liberals, and I was not happy there, but times have changed. People in the South are now too tolerant than anyone else and more friendly than most.
I would love to be able to convert these people to a healthier lifestyle.
And that's really the whole issue - the lifestyle. Their bikes are a deplorable state because they would not be death on anything that looks good. A $ 20000 car is cheap, and a $ 200 bike is outrageous. They do not because their culture does not include it.
At the national level, I see signs favourable. When films, TV programs and ads represent a healthy lifestyle that includes exercise, you know that the movement of fitness has been extremely successful. Unfortunately, children are less exercise than ever before. In the South, the number of adults exercise has increased, so I still hope. They could be persuaded to abandon the lifestyle South until you are really healthy.
Perhaps, ultimately, is what it will take. Already, the Southern accent is mostly disappeared (found mainly on television). But I would like to see stronger signs of change in the most important areas of health and the environment.
