I'll admit I worded that "not too carefully", Ted. What I really should have said was .......... in the South, I believe obesity to be the number one cause of bad knees. Surely, athletic injuries account for some bad knees ............. old football players love to brag about their injuries, but in the big scheme of things I have seen that really active people are usually not badly overweight, and don't have nearly as many knee problems as overweight people.
