Portland-No Fatties

Good article today suggesting that the reason why Oregon was the only state in the union to not have an increase in obesity last year is due to the large % of the population that commute by bike. Portland's relative svelteness was relatively hard for me to appreciate until a recent trip to Iowa, when I found myself stuck at a "Pizza Ranch" (in my experience any restaurant with "ranch" in the name is probably bad news) fearing I would be ingested by one of the patrons if the buffet spread were to run a little low at some point.
