Houston was rated as the *least* fit city in the country by Men's Health magazine just recently. Texas residents also have the worst collective credit rating in the country. Hm, do you think we could get (convince) Mexico to take it back?
These surveys fail to take into account flight to the suburbs. What remains is often unemployed/underemployed and morbidly obese. Excluding the suburbs is a way of pushing an agenda...the nanny state.
Houston was rated fattest city NOT on the weight of Houstonians but on how many fast food restaurants there are compared to gyms. Texas, if a country, would be the richest on earth.
