I’m still sitting on the F Train bus from yesterday, and working on a theory about fat and sedentary Americans. Note the gas station prices: gas is nearly $4.00 a gallon and cigarettes are pushing $10.00 a pack. If a person is buying gas, they are likely not getting as much exercise as someone who takes public transportation or does not have a car. More importantly, with prices being high, a half dozen donuts, on sale for $3.99, is going to seem a bargain. Who can resist? The triumvirate of evil – smoking, lack of exercise, unhealthy food – merge at this gas station.

Is it a worldwide phenomenon, the urge to eat in the car, or do Americans feel the urge more than most drivers? The price of gas is up for the holiday season; in the city it’s going for $3.29 a gallon, give or take a dime.

Another repercussion of the recession is more blank billboards. The minimalism and lack of advertising are refreshing, but it would be even better if they would turn off the lights and save some electricity.
