January 6, 200620 yr How did they go about deciding what cities are the fittest and fattest? I see Miami on the fattest cities list, yet I think it should be one of the fittest. All people do down there is work out and worry about how they look. I notice the difference in looks when I fly back down from New York. The funny thing is I've gone to Jacksonville a few times and I swear it seems like everyone there is super fat. These rankings are BS.
January 6, 200620 yr Almost everyone is fat in Lancaster, PA from my experiences there but with the awesome food there I ain't surprised.
January 6, 200620 yr TOP 25 FATTEST CITIES: 4. Dallas (6) ... 13. Fort Worth, Texas (14) TOP 25 FITTEST CITIES: 22. Arlington, Texas (22) WTF... Are Dallas and Fort Worth stealing Arlington's food?
January 7, 200620 yr Way to go VA Beach! :thumbup I guess that almost makes up for the fact that VA Beach probably has the ugliest people on earth. lol
