I notice a lot of the episodes are from Texas. Perhaps the production team is from there.
Or maybe, given that Texas is a pro-private property, pro-freedom state, food is just cheaper. In Canada, it costs $7.99 CAD [about $6 USD] for three tiny heads of romaine lettuce.
Maybe given the affordable cost of living in Texas from not being bogged down in big state socialism allows for these massive people to develop at higher rates.
I mean, not every outcome of Capitalism is necessarily positive.
Texas is great. They should separate from the socialist leeches from other states.
