Everything is BIGGER in Texas… But Not Better
Unfortunately true in this case. According to the recent Men’s Health Magazine (May 2010) 5 of the 10 fattest cities are in Texas: #1 Corpus Christi, #3 El Paso, #4 Dallas, #7 San Antonio and #9 Houston. The study complied information in each city based on the percentage of overweight people, the percentage of people with type-2 diabetes, the percentage of people who are sedentary and the amount of junk food bought and consumed. The study does state that Texas is trying to pass legislation to have nutritional information provided at larger restaurants.
There is some good news. Austin was listed as the 5th leanest city in the study along with #1 San Francisco, #2 Burlington, #3 Washington D.C., and #4 Seattle. Let’s keep Austin lean and fit!
