[gettinlarger]

im pretty sure it's philadelphia.

Eh. I'm there 3 days a week. I wouldn't call it the fattest city.

... Although, there is an abundance of them.

Why don't more people exercise?

I was wrong.


America's "Fattest Cities": Is Yours One Of Them?

It's official: on a recently published list of "America's Fattest Cities," Houston ranked No. 1 for the second year running, followed by Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia and Dallas (Men's Fitness magazine, February 2002). That's in a nation where the levels of obesity (defined by the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion as "an excessively high amount of body fat or adipose tissue in relation to lean body mass") have increased by 50 percent since 1992, and excessive weight is a factor in some 300,000 deaths each year.

Our weight is more of a problem than ever -- fully two-thirds of Americans are overweight, and cheap food as well as TV-watching are cited among the main factors -- and in big and small ways, we're taking action. In March, the Texas Board of Education elected to reinstate mandatory phys ed in elementary schools. In a recent citywide campaign, Philadelphia set out to lose 76 tons in 76 days (and came up 65 tons short) and in a similar move, Brooklyn, NY's Borough President is acting as weight-loss guinea pig in his Lighten Up, Brooklyn! project. What is your city doing towards the trimming of America?

Amazing how they didn't mention "personal choice" as THE only factor, since all other factors are secondary to this. But I forget, people cannot control themselves, Ronald McDonald is a demonic clown with supernatural powers over the human mind.

That´s what happens when you have Mcdonalds inside high schools...

I would think the South too.
So many fried foods!

And I've seen people who will drive around the parking lot;
and sit and wait till someone leaves their parking space.

They do not like to walk...

Common North Americans are fat in general, not just our friends in the good ole United States of America.

When I visited Whitehorse and Yellowknife, I saw folks eating McDonalds laced with Lysol. Condiment of choice, I suppose.

I wanted to bake a small cake to lace with razor blades, and I had to get the vanilla extract from behind a counter.
