After last week's word "Hueftgold," you might think that "Speckguertel" (literally, "bacon belt") is what Heidi Klum would get around her waist if she actually ate the French fries she was advertising. However, the "Speckguertel" concept has more to do with sociology and urban development than nutrition. It refers to the wealthy suburbs that tend to encircle larger cities. Though Heidi Klum may not be wearing any "bacon belts," one of her favorite cities -- Los Angeles -- is practically one giant "Speckguertel."
