Chicago is #1? Wow. I can see that though. The hotdigs, the burgers, it's everywhere. And you're not really a Midwesterner unless you gourge.

Wierd.

Strange, huh? But usually there's a correlation between the "fat cities" list and larger minority populations, since there's a larger percentage of big African and Latino heritage people than Caucasian. Maybe that explains Chicago a little?

I'm surprised to see NYC on the fatlist since my time living there was the only time I ever lost weight without trying. I figured that when you walk everywhere you need to go, it just sloughs the pounds right off. How innerestin'.
