Get the special "Obesity" issue of Time magazine if you can. Very interesting articles, especially the one about how the "sprawl"-like design of American suburbs is contributing to the sprawl of our waistlines. Lots of the issue is stuff we already have figured out, but it's good to see it all in one place and to read about so many different contributors to the problems of overweight in America.

I'll definitely go out to buy that issue, thanks, Donna! I agree about the sprawl of the suburbs - I can't help thinking if I walked to my destinations more I would be leaner! If I ever move to the city, it would have to be one such as Boston or NY where most people do quite a bit of walking! I was pleased to read in one of our Realtor magazines that Pasadena, CA is becoming quite a popular urban village. Reading about how the city has provided more housing & transportation near the commerce, retail, entertainment, and restaurants made me want to move back. I always thought it was easy to get around when I lived out there in the late 70's, but now it's much more pedestrian friendly I read.

Of course, my dream would be to have acres of land I can roam!
