Thanks. Well - this is Denmark, not the US. Anyway, we're truely beginning to see overweight people in increasing numbers here as well. We always seem to be 10 years "behind" the US. I guess, when poorly educated people get too much money - they tend to buy the wrong kind of food - more fat, less vegetables - and they buy cars instead of using the good old bicycles.
As you may know - I'm a city planner. At work we recently had new traffic projections made. Every year the number of cars grow at a rate of 2-5% each year. In 20 years time the traffic system in our small town will totally brake down or stop working. Then the bikes will perhaps get trendy again. I - for one - don't own a car. (due to local taxes a new car in Denmark cost appr. 30.000-40.000 USD - this money would buy me a lot of very nice lenses). I go to work by bicycle (a 5 minute ride). I use a shared car when I go photographing. Thirty persons are sharing 5 cars. That's really great - and cheap. And it doesn't take away my reason to use my legs, heart, lungs etc. every day.

The only thing I'm struck with is, the remarkable absence of heavy-weight people! Almost no one is overweight! Like very few beaches in the U.S. Or, even Hawaii, for that matter... keith
