No need to beat around the bush. We are all ( ? ) grown ups and know it.

How do our STINKY Houstonians tie in to old Bill?

I have wondered about that, also.

So your opinion is that fat people are sweaty and therefore they stink. How fat is fat?

FWIW, I'm not offended by the so-called study. I think it's just a waste of time/money but if someone wants to dish out the effort & dough for it...

I agree - who paid for this study?

Oh good grief. Skinny people sweat like fiends too. The difference is that most skinnies have to truely exert themselves, or stand in the heat for a while, to sweat. Overweight people can work up a glow just walking through a store. The sweat between the folds of the skin. etc. Just sit next to someone on an airplane for a few hours who's more than a little overweight and you will smell something.......

Also, could the amount of ethic food served in this town, as well as the amount consumed, attribute to smell? I think so.

PS- I recently was in Europe for over a week. The British have a "tinge" to them. The French seemed not to. All the cabbies smelled like sewer. I didn't see one person that would rank overweight the entire time. Well, I take that back...one guy was easily 300lbs but he had on a Raiders jacket, vans and was wearing a tuke. Yeah...American.

They not only used climate data, but smoking data as well. There's no mention of resident weight, visits or anything else.

Finally someone mentions food. B.O. has a lot to do with the foods people eat so it's not always about people not taking showers.

"No. 2: Houston, Texas


This swampy metropolis has one of the hottest summer temperature averages and chart-topping, year-round humidity — ideal conditions for a Texas-size stink."

Las Vegas ranks in first.

Thoughts?

That's very funny!

Seriously, 10 years off your life? No one, and I mean NO ONE, will give up 10 years to smell better.

Quote for truth. I have these pickles I love (Ba Tampte--get them at Spec's downtown). Really good, but enough garlic & dill flavor to kill a horse. My wife says she can "smell" when I've eaten them for several days after. That it oozes out of me; not my breath, but my body.
