Unfit house

I get Cooking Light magazine. In addition to recipes they have a bit of fitness, travel, and "lifestyle" articles. For the past few years they have featured what they call a "Fit House." I read this year's "Fit House" article this evening. It drools on and on about what a wonderfully green house it is.

This house is out in the Atlanta exurbs and is 4,835 square feet. It incorporates cypress imported from Spain.

I don't care how much insulation you have, there is nothing environmentally friendly about a 5000 square foot house with six and a half bathrooms. (And four bedrooms. This is not a house intended for a family of nine.)

It is annoying that they are abusing environmentalism to sell something so monstrous.

I hear you. Sunset magazine has done the same thing. Totally misses the point.

Wow! Almost 5,000 square feet! When we stayed at Hugo's house in Guadalajara there were 9 of us in 1500 square feet, so 5,000 would be enough space for thirty people!!!

Why does anyone need six bathrooms with four bedrooms.
