Oh, dear PeeWee. I am a healthy, physically fit person that works out and eats healthy all week long. That won't stop me from enjoying a BBQ this weekend at Ribfest. FYI, WV is already one of the most obese states in the US, no need for you to move to Iowa. You can stay right here and act miserably. It's the uneducated folks with negative attitudes like yourself that make our state a bad place, not those with a large appetite. I'll think about you when I enjoy my ribs & rootbeer this weekend =) Keep sitting at home misspelling insults on the comment box while the rest of us enjoy OUR weekend in OUR nice state.
