Cul De Fat.

I was googling myself last night, as you do, and I stumbled across an Australian article: Cul de sacs make you fat.

I don’t make a habit of eating cul de sacs but as a kid I lived in them. Two actually. That means that I spent the majority of my childhood living in houses in cul de sacs. That’s why I’m fat, right? That’s the reason.

I thought growing up at the end of the street was pretty cool. All that loose gravel to do burn outs in on our cool little bikes. No cars to worry about. No one passing through. I thought we were pretty lucky.

The Southern Star reports:

“Urban planning has a lot to do with it, with the cul de sac street – a familiar sight in new outer-suburban estates – being a dieter’s worst nightmare.”

“Cul de sacs are amongst the less-friendly forms of urban development because you have to walk right around to get to a point in another cul de sac close by,” he said.

So I lucked out. If only we bought the house up the street. The funny thing is that my siblings seemed to come out of the cul de sac unharmed, and un…. fat.

All you can do is laugh. x

  1. Haha – any excuse for some people really! (Um, for the record I think it’s the food you’re stuffing in and the exercise you’re not doing that’s making you fat Mr Newspaper Man!!)

  2. Court – And I live near an intersection… does that mean it should be falling off? 😛

    Jo – They do studies on stupid things sometimes, don’t they? Craziness!
