    Missing in this, both for being broke and the diabetes, is car monoculture. I’ve known several immigrants who thought they were going to get around (in Texas no less!) without a car or be a one car household. A few months later they were all angry at how much they were spending on cars. And fatter, angrier from traffic.

      Good god, Texas of all places? It’s a 15 minute drive to the nearest grocery store and I live in a suburb close to the city!
