Everything's bigger in Texas! And actually, a couple Ohio cities ain't doing too bad.

I wonder how much socio-economics plays into this as well. For instance, a city with a large population of crackheads would be deemed a healthy city, because everyone is so skinny. Hmmmm.

I would think cities with generally lower socio-economic status would be fatter, due to the easy and cheap availability of fast food.

QFT. I eat Skyline every day(not always chili, and actually the cheese is way worse than the chili) but don't gain any weight, and I haven't worked out too much.

And I have to say, thank goodness they didn't consider northern Kentucky as part of the Cincinnati area or else there's no way it would be an A-.
