You can rest easy. Boston Massachusetts is not the fattest city in America. That accolade belongs to Corpus Christi, Texas. Boston is the 52nd fattest city in America according to Men's Health Magazine.
To arrive at their rankings, they calculated the percentage of people who are overweight, the percentage with type 2 diabetes, the percentage who haven't left the couch in a month (CDC Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System); the money spent on junk food (Bureau of Labor Statistics); and finally, the number of people who ate fast food nine or more times in a month (Mediamark Research). What are the top ten "fat cities" behind Corpus Christi Texas? Charleston, W. VA, El Paso, TX, Dallas, TX, Memphis TN, Kansas City, MO, San Antonio, TX, Baltimore, MD, Houston TX and Birmingham, AL.
Next time you are contemplating your ninth meal of the month at McDonalds, think again. You don't want to be responsible for MA rising in the "Fat City" rankings. If you haven't lifted your bottom of the sofa lately or started working out, make today the day you are going to commit to being a better you... healthier, stronger and thinner.
