Is Velveeta bad for you?

Is Velveeta a Healthy Food Choice? | Livestrong.com

Research project for self. Go to Sumter square tonight just adjacent to Lake Sumter which has no pee and see if people are eschewing fat in their diets????
They are indeed not eschewing fat; they rather are chewing the fat and swallowing lots of it! Sumter County apparently is not a mecca for healthy lifestyles.

47.4% of Sumter County residents are overweight (Having a Body Mass Index (BMI) ranging from 25.0 to 29.9.) This is higher than the state percentage. 37.8% of Floridians are overweight.
27.2% of Sumter County residents are obese (Having a Body Mass Index (BMI) that is greater than or equal to 30.0.) This is the same as the overall percentage of Floridians that are obese.

Plenty of environmental tobacco smoke at the squares as well...

The 2010 Florida BRFSS reports 19% of Sumter county residents are current smokers. The state percentage of current smokers is 17.1%. In Sumter County 53.6% of the current smokers reported trying to quit smoking in the past year. 37.8% of the residents are former smokers. Overall in Florida 60.1% of the current smokers reported trying to quit smoking in the past year. 29.8% of Florida residents are former smokers. Current smoker is defined as “Adults who have ever smoked at least 100 cigarettes and who smoked on some or all days in the previous 30 days.” (Figure 24)

Both of the above are from http://sumter.floridahealth.gov/prog...ssment2011.pdf
