Fantastic! I’m not in the “diabetes belt” so I’m cured!

profile looks like like states with alot of fried foods and possibly diets with a mexican influence?

ps dont shoot me if i am wrong. i am a auusie who just spent 10 days in the usa in 1986 !

but, am i correct? or even slightly correct?

I’m in PA so I’m in the belt. I guess it’s time to move.
