▶ In this video I talk about the territorial 'Belt' regions of the United States of America. When looking at a map of the US, you can divide it in various ways, including regions, states, counties, and urban vs rural areas. However, another interesting way is through "belts," which are regions sharing specific characteristics. Some well-known belts are the Rust Belt, known for its heavy industrialization and economic stagnation, and the Bible Belt, noted for its strong evangelical Protestant influence. These belts aren't formal divisions but rather labels for areas with shared traits. The term "belt" originally referred to agricultural regions following lines of latitude with similar climates, like the Corn Belt and Wheat Belt. Over time, the concept expanded to include economic, cultural, and climatic characteristics, leading to belts such as the Frost Belt and the Sun Belt. Each belt has its unique history and significance, reflecting the diverse nature of the United States.

Mormons spent a lot of the mid 20th century trying to become “more normal” in the eyes of the average American, so they latched onto the mid 20th century vision of normal. Jell-o was crazy crazy popular with housewives in the 1950s, the “normal” people, and as such jello’s been kind of a staple of Mormon church dinners and family events ever since. At least, that’s the read I always got as an outsider with a Mormon family for in-laws

Am Mormon/LDS. The Term "Mormon Belt' makes far more sense than "Jell-O Belt". Jell-O is actually not as popular as the name Belt implies. (Twice the average quantity of jell-o purchased in a single year is still an overall low quantity, since jell-o is not that frequently eaten to begin with). Chocolate Pudding (or for the Brits, Custard) is a more frequently eaten desert in my family clan, for example. Funeral Potatoes/Cheesy Potatoes/Hash-Brown Casseroles are far more popular and common as an ethnic food to the Mormon Belt than Jell-O (part of our territory covering Idaho potato country certainly explains part of that).

Lived in WA and OR west of the Cascades for my entire life, and never once heard the terms “Atheist Belt” or “Unchurched Belt”.

Each of the belts is connected to some sort of driver that may or may not apply to the majority of the belt itself. Some like the Corn or Cotton Belts are tied to rural/farming areas, while the Rust Belt is tied to decaying urban areas. Even the Bible Belt can be said to apply more to rural areas than urban ones. Even the geographic nature of the Sunbelt has alpine mountainous areas of the Southern Rockies and Sierra Nevada which mimic the snow belt in the Winter. While belts themselves offer us interesting ways to sort and categorizing the nation, I think it's important to realize that they are manifested with more nuance than they are with a broad stroke of the paint brush.

The reason why they purchase so much jello in Utah is because people hide alcohol in jello in regions where drinking is taboo. Jello is actually enjoyed in the area so there is a learned cultural component however it cant be ignored that jello lends itself to concealing alcohol and alcohol consumption is frowned upon at a higher rate in these areas, Had a Mormon friend confirm this

I think that they should have included Michigan's Upper Peninsula and upper Minnesota in the "Steel Belt." These are important places for the manufacturing of steel because they pull a lot of iron ore from the ground, there. I also lived in Michigan's Upper Peninsula for almost 2.5 years. It was great because I loved to cross country ski in the winter and the natural beauty year round was breath taking in a lot of places. I was a ten minute walk from Lake Superior. One blizzard, when I was up there, lasted for just short of three days. When it was over, it left us with 55 inches (139.7 cm) of new snow.

For the Fallout TV show, the use of Jell-O cake is likely due to the theme of the Fallout franchise being heavily influenced by the trends of post-WWII US culture. From the 1940s through the 1960s there was this trend of using Jell-O in everything, and was a weird sign of the general prosperity the US was experiencing at the time. Which is why they use it as a thing for vault dwellers. Which are supposed to parody suburban Americans who always hearken back to the 1950s as the decade they wish we could return our country to. While forgetting the very real problems of the decade for marginalized groups despite the overall economic prosperity of the time. Utah also seems to have a large percentage of those kinds of Americans. haha

Was wondering if we have Belts/Gürtel on a National Level in Germany as well. We could define some, but the term wouldn´t be used, at least for now. Gürtel seem to be rather a thing on Municipality Level like "Grüngürtel" (Green Belt) being an Area of Parks and Forests often where Medieval Fortifications once stood. Especially Cologne seems to be a good Example. Another known one is the "Speckgürtel" (Bacon or probably more precisely Fat Belt) is an Area of High Population density and Income around a large City. Especially the one around Berlin is often named. It may be a bit comparable to the US-American Suburbanization Trend, but with a higher density and better connectivity. These Municipalities work on their own and aren´t dependant on the City they grew around.

@@tomfields3682 Unless the cars are rusty the moment you drive them off the lot, manufacturing has nothing to do with it. You might say design as to the materials used, but not manufacturing. That being said, the rust belt's winters, humidity, and use of salt very much are driving factors to the state of cars in the region. Go to the desert in Arizona and cars take considerably longer to rust if they rust at all. As for salt, a lot of salt comes from that region and not just the mountains. Most people don't know that Detroit has active mines underneath the city

@tomfields3682 3 дня назад

@@TracyII77 You missed my point. The Rust Belt is called that because the cities and towns in that area were centers of *manufacturing* until the 1980s when it all went overseas or down South, leaving all the abandoned factories, mills and railroad tracks to rust. Yes, they used lots of salt on the roads there resulting in rusty cars but that's not why the area is called Rust Belt. Check it out sometime and you'll see what I mean.

Many of these terms are historical and have fallen out of widespread use.

A small correction: Mormon is not the correct way to refer to members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Church of Jesus Christ). It is a reference to the Book of Mormon (a book of scripture in the Latter-day Saint canon) and was a nickname given by enemies of the Church during its early history. Calling members of the Church of Jesus Christ "Mormons" is like calling Muslims "Qur'anites" or Jews Torahs. I would also point out that Salt Lake City has a relatively low Latter-day Saint population compared to other parts of the state, so the high jello consumption is almost certainly a regional phenomenon and not a religious one.

If you go outside of the major metros in Oregon you will find just as religious people as you will in the Bible belt, same with rural nor cal. Cant speak to Washington but I suspect it's the same. As with a lot of things population centers skew what on the ground living is like.

@dhowe5180 4 дня назад

Yeah, maybe. But OR and WA are very urbanized states so the majority of the population is non-religious. Calling them athiests is a bit of a stretch. The reality is that most people in the PNW just don’t think about religion much.

@troywest7045 4 дня назад

While I agree, I will say as someone who's lived in rural Bible belt and rural PNW, that there are levels to fanatical religious people and the Bible belt is definitely on another level.

@@troywest7045that’s really true and I don’t know if anyone can really know how entrenched it is in the culture in the Bible Belt unless they’ve lived it
