<p><font size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">"If
there’s a supermarket in your zip code, for example, you’re 10% less likely to
be obese. If there are a lot of intersections in your neighborhood - a sign of
street connectivity and continuity - you’re less likely to be obese. And, not
surprisingly, the more time people spend in their cars, the more likely they
are to be obese” says Lopez. </span></font></p>
