Houston, we have a problem.... Detroit now tops as the Fattest City!

[Analog]

HOUSTON (AP) ? After three years of holding the title as America's fastest city, Houston shed the weight of the title. The city dropped to No. 2 on the Men's Fitness list of "fattest cities" in America. Detroit moved to the top spot.

Woohoo!

Unfortunately Houston now sits in second, San Antonio in third, and Dallas in fourth. Chicago comes in at a marginal 5th.

This Christmas vacation you'd have thought I was single handedly trying to retake the title.

Considering i'm only about 130-135 I'm helping keep San Antonio out of the top 3.

Have you ever thought about the possible correlation that these 3 cities are also in the top 10 of the largest cities in the US?

I don't think that the listing is total poundage of the entire population, instead it more likely obesity per capita.

 

[hjo3]

Actually, it's calculated based on how much fruit and vegetables are eaten (bought), polls about how much time the populace spends exercising and watching TV, etc. Actual obesity isn't a factor, IIRC.

Yes, I'm bringing up a few day old thread, but it's better than reposting...

Anyway... is it a fact that those aren't "walking" cities like NYC or Boston ?

 

[EvilYoda]

That's right, you can't even beat us in the fat-race!

now, what I didn't understand, was that in Detroit, we have the winter season, so people are indoors all day with little exercize...so how would Houston be fatter? And it's so hot down there too...

 

[rh71]

For Detroit, they did cite the cold weather in addition to the lack of exercise facilities (clubs, etc.) in the report (I heard it on the radio).

And in Texas... well who the hell knows what's out there if anything...

 

[Crazymofo]

I imagine that in TX no one goes outside because its so dang hot out.

Anyone know the whole top ten fattest list so we can compare it with the top ten largest cities?
