The difference is striking enough that it was one my wife's first observations. There are plenty of poor people here so the relative thinness might have more to do with the fact that most everybody in the city walks significantly more. The cost of food may also contribute.
You know I've thought about how much people walk in the country compared to cities like NYC. I grew up in a tiny village in the South. If you had a car, you didn't walk all that much because everything was far apart with nothing inbetween. There was no walking a few blocks (whatever a block would be in a tiny town) to a bus or subway station, you just drove to the store or whatever.
People in NYC definitely walk a heck of a lot more than most everyone ever did in my little town.
Everything I needed to know about life I learned on Dagobah.
