Correlate with the most generous welfare handout cities in America.
Work absenteeism? I’ve never missed work from being fat.
Owasso and Muskogee, Oklahoma....
Given the rankings there would appear to be a bias against the southern states built into the criteria.
What?!!
Corpus Christi isn’t on the list?
Or did I miss it?
They should break this list down by political party affiliation. Something tells me the list would go away.
Interesting that the top 20 are below the Mason-Dixon line. Eating Southern
Fried Chicken has gotta be stopped!
We’re not fat; we’re famine prepared. If the world’s food supply ever does get drastically reduced, America will survive while others fall by the wayside. USA! USA! USA!
All I can say here in Memphis is pass the Barbeque
We have this bizarre situation that has never happened before in history where the poorest are the most likely to be obese. Super cheap fattening foods, less physical labor, more non-physical entertainment options, public social assistance all contribute. It’s one of the reasons I doubt that there can ever be any sort of sustained civil unrest in the near future. The poor might not be healthy, but they are sure well fed. Hard to picture them going through the hardship sustained civil rests would bring.
Supposedly the average woman now weighs 166lbs+, roughly what the average man weighed in 1960. Pretty amazing stuff if true.

Almost all the fat cities are in warm areas. Maybe warm weather makes people lazy.
