Does it imply causation in this case?

Last year I drove from Hobbs NM to Albuquerque. My Sat Nav/GPS told me
to turn right at Roswell and keep straight for 140 miles. Not hard to
do as I can only remember one town, more of a village actually. Parts of
America are very empty.

Indeed; obviously, the western half of the US (except the coast) is not
a suitable habitat for Americans, due to the lack of sources for their
natural diet ("junk food").

Come on guys, let's start settling the territories susceptible to hurricanes,
earthquakes and floods up to superpopulation!!
Seriously, Utah looks pretty little "Mcdimizied". Is that Ronald offending
mormons with happy meal?

The European settlers and African slaves (whose combined descendants make up the
bulk of Americans) arrived on the east coast. Expansion proceeded westward from
there.
Mountains and deserts are a big part of it, of course. But there is a large
low-density stretch (from northwestern Texas through the Dakotas) that is
neither desert nor mountainous, so it must be that the eastern population just
hasn't expanded that far.
The west and the south are growing fast, however. California is the most
populous state. Texas overtook New York as the second most populous state
during the 1990s. And Florida (on the east coast, but not one of the original
colonies) is poised to drop New York into 4th place within a few years. Must be
the climate. (But New York City alone still has more people than your entire
country. Must be the climate.)

While Mickee Dees does have many competitors in the USA (we cannot sustain
ourselves on just one junk food network), I think they're still number one.

Done. St. Thomas, Virgin Islands (where I live) gets all three disasters, and
has a higher population density than any of the states.

Interesting. I always thought of McDonald's as being the axiomatic
definition of what America /is/...

The Appalachians are in the North East. Andy was talking about the
Rocky Mountains.
While the Colorado river does start in the Rockies, the Grand Canyon is
actually in the plains East of them.

The Grand Canyon is west of the Rockies. (The Colorado River flows from
northeast to southwest.) The Grand Canyon is east of the Sierra Nevada, which
is a different mountain range.
