Georgia! oh, a nice liberal lot down there then! lol 
Canada is slightly better than the US, but in some places you get huge portions. Now, anyone who knows me, knows that I like my food, but crikey, sometimes I just can't finish a meal.
Of course, if you just eat subway, then you'll end up losing so much weight, just like Jared (well, you have to have aid(e)s as well
).
Having said that, I've seen the porky types go for TWO footlong subs, with the low fat (sh)Atkins type ingredients and the DC, hmm, they don't seem to get that the *quantitiy* of what they are eating might have something to do with them being lardy.

I am off to Toronto for a two day meeting in the middle of October -- am I going to have fun there?

Mice - you're right, they don't get it. One thing I have found is that girls here bandy about a certain, very rude word, with no problem at all. you could call a girl a c**t and it's ok, but call them a bitch and they'll tear your bits off! very odd!
Steve - Whereabouts is the meeting and where are you staying? If it's downtown then yeah, you'll have lots of fun. Some great bars and clubs there, lots of hustle and bustle. Good new hooters @ 280 Adelaide. Plus there is the danforth, bit out of the city center, but great greek area and some good places, a face of mine being Lolita's Lust, nice bar, great food, and if it's refurbished, a club upstairs.
