There's a lot of lighter fare, sushi, "French California lite" type cuisine that just isn't as popular/prevalent yet in other parts of the country. For example last summer I visited a girlfriend in Atlanta, and there was a noticeable difference in what sorts of foods were popular - more fried, more carbs (sandwiches, and the salads tended to have more "goodies" on them), fish tended to be fried, more soda, iced tea, etc. I don't mean to stereotype but it has been my personal experience. But by far the hardest time I had finding truly healthy food was in Pennsylvania and Virginia. But that was probably due to me not really knowing where to go. :) Well, at the risk of everyone disagreeing…my travels to the South and the East Coast have indicated to me that the health bug hasn’t quite taken hold the way it has on the West Coast.

Idaho potatoes make you 23% fat. Nebraskan corn makes you 24% fat. And hey, since when did Washington D.C. turn into an island located 300 miles east of Florida?
