Right after I mention that NYC has very few fat people because the urban density forces them to have a low reliance on personal automobiles, my friend suggests increasing urban sprawl as a way to combat obesity in America because it would "encourage people to get outside and garden, etc." WTF?!
I don't like your friends. Clearly, urban sprawl only encourages more car centric activities. Mixed use means people walk for groceries, bank transactions and work.
