Take this scenario:
An island with wonderful beaches and good healthy food on one side, lots of fattening food and horrible beaches on the other and a wasteland in the middle. There are people living all the way around the island. Closer to the wonderful beaches all the people are slim and tan (all the swimming and healthy living) closer to the fattening food they are all heavy and pale. We find that the neighbors can and do interbreed, but you take the good looking, tan people to the fat ugly side and they don't interbreed.
Are they now seperate species?
