  Anecdata: I've taken three cruises over the last twenty years, and the obesity rate on those was an order of magnitude higher than what I see in my everyday life as a coastal yuppie -- the only other place I've seen that many people who are that fat was at Disney in Orlando. But America as a whole has a way higher obesity rate than what I see normally, so cruises might just be representative of the country in general.

Perhaps you should examine your own "prejudice" before pointing fingers at objective, informed people stating facts.
