As for the food, you have thousands of little bitty blond girls. You _cannot_ tell me they eat big ole burgers and fries all day long. Even if they were all bulimic. They are your best export. Plus, you have a whole style of cooking named for you, California Cuisine, which is noted for its use of fresh local ingredients and its focus on presentation, which usually includes small portions artfully presented on honking huge plates. And no, no other state has any problems whatsoever. Why are all you Californians always hatin on the other states?
