If one spots poppy fields in Huntington, rest assured it is for seeds on the numerous bagels/dinner rolls and soda pop they consume each day. Their soda consumption alone has practically, single handedly, advanced WVU to finding a cure/treatment for Alzheimer's. The bagel/roll consumption is just to maintain their obesity, and status as the country's most obese city.
They are a backward community due to their lack of access to higher education. No, Meth will continue to be their drug of choice and milieu(that means 'social environment' for those in Huntington...... Not that I'm trying to be condescending {that means talking down to someone....supercilious......OMG sorry... I'll stop....}). They would lose way too much weight on heroin. Heroin Chic is not the preferred look for the Cows. Meth Mammoth is all the rage, and the cat's meow. Many of the CPAP machine manufacturers have relocated to Huntington, WV despite the crime and tax structure. Lowered cost in distribution more than outweighs the social, political, cultural, and educational disadvantages of the area. Picture inner city Detroit, in Beirut, with a citizenry of male/female sumo wrestlers.
