They are interesting folks. You have girls who may look like indians
but they talk like Dolly Parton. "Hi darlin, y'all sit wherever you
like" kinda thing. Then we were at another place today right on the
main drag in the reservation that says "Indian owned" and they are the
same kind of indians you get when you call tech support.

As for the Anglos, "what do you call a skinny person in western North
Carolina"?
A tourist.
I stopped at a fruit stand for some fresh green beans and the lady
wanted to be sure I had enough fat back to cook them in. I couldn't
bring myself to tell her I was steaming them.

You do realize that fat doesn't make you fat? Cow don't eat fat, and they are fat. Carbs are what your body turns into fat, among other things. the whole "low fat" fad was what made a lot of people fat with all the added sugars and crap. Marjorine is poison, butter is much healthier. All in moderation. :)

I understand that but I also understand there are a lot of calories in
fat. For the purpose of this conversation, a lot more than steam.

Artificial sweeteners trick the body into storing fat, too.
