Why might there be a correlation between obesity and voting patterns?

OK in moderation.
Same thing with poutine.

Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
That just means I'll die happy.
Most interesting article. Especially liked the link of Fox to health problems!Why Red States Suffer Greater Obesity

At 75 years old, I have now eaten poutine precisely 3 times in my life. Of course, poutine is about 10 years younger than me, so if it had been invented earlier, I might have had 4 servings by now.

I love Fat Albert!
I'm wondering, a bit off topic but whatever happened to the fat acceptance movement?
It's probably more of a boycott, which is a perfectly acceptable form of protest.
A cynic might say DeSantis would secretly like blacks and LGBTQ+ to stay out of the state.
A realist might come to the same conclusion.
Oh the infamous MAGA punisher decals I’ve seen online.
Was…interesting to see Marvel write about that in the comics.
Fair enough
And Hispanics, too, apparently.
I've had it once.
Here in USA (Ann Arbor).
Not with Bill Cosby voicing the characters.
I can just see Cosby voicing a new character, named "Roofie Tuesday."

I barely remember it, although it seemed somewhat progressive for its time.
Fat Albert's mom must have been a good cook.
And? I find it a sort of "okay," but not going out of my way to get it, and won't choose it before a decent baked potato with a little sour cream and chive.
It seems to me that many of the problems facing the Muslim world have more to do with current conditions (e.g., the economy, education, infrastructure, and political stability) than with religion per se. Generally, religions take the shape of the regions in which they exist, and Islam was able to take the shape of relatively prosperous and pro-scientific countries in the Islamic Golden Age. Likewise, Christianity has been able to take the shape of both less prosperous and very progressive countries. Humans shape religious interpretations and implementations after their own circumstances.
Also, a lot of Muslims have no problem with women's reading, nor is that forbidden or shunned in the vast majority of mainstream Islamic sects. On a more personal level, almost the entirety of the last two generations within my extended family (who are Muslims), whether male or female, are college graduates, and my family is not an anomaly among the middle class where I live.
Some, albeit a smaller number, have no issues with LGBT rights either—although views on LGBT people are indeed a major issue in need of reform among the mainstream sects of Islam. Still, this holds true for a lot of Christian denominations too, as you well know, not just Islamic sects. I don't see it as a problem exclusive to any religion.

Didn't surprise me. Marvel is smart. American cops are dumb. And cops just shouldn't be glorifying a merciless and violent vigilante.
Yeah. Not to mention Marvel’s or I guess now Disney’s PR machine prompting extra scrutiny.
Not saying that the original Punisher author’s would approve of cops celebrating the Punisher, obviously.
I’ll admit not being overly familiar with the history of the character but even I know the infamous calls for them to “be better than he is.”

I don't know much about him either, but I know enough to know he may not really be a suitable role model for anyone, and that's the point. He's damaged goods and making others more broken than him. It's good story to see such stories where evil is thoroughly punished, but in the real world it has entirely necessary to make laws to prevent law enforcement from doing what he does.
Captain America is a far better role model for them and his shield definitely better than Punisher's skull. Steve even has a legit mid-20 century America thing going on.
