When I first visited The Villages for 20 years I had lived in an area where people valued their health and appearance and took care of themselves. A few were overweight by not by much. I observed Villagers who were shockingly huge to my eyes. More than a few of them looked so obese they could have worked as the fat lady or fat man in a circus years ago. I was surprised so many of them smoked, too, as I had hardly even socially known anyone who smoked for years. Since I am a bit of a gym rat I also noticed some folks were in exceptionally good physical condition and that there weren't many in between; folks were very fat or very fit. That has not changed over time.
