how did we make the list? I don't see that many fat people around Raleigh, unless they all are too fat to leave their house.

1/24/2009 5:20:08 PM

i see plenty of fat people.

1/24/2009 5:21:34 PM

they obviously should visit asheboro

1/24/2009 5:22:00 PM

asheboro isn't exactly a city, and it's more filled with dumbass rednecks than fat ppl.

1/24/2009 5:23:14 PM

"Sure, obesity is a problem in this country, but when you think fat, you probably don't think Miami. So you may be surprised to find Men's Fitness magazine ranks Miami as the nation's fattest city in its annual survey. The fittest? Salt Lake City. So what about the South Beach Diet... and all those buff bodies you always see in the ocean-side metropolis? Even though Miami has a high number of health-food stores per capita, Men's Fitness found it also has nearly three times the fast-food restaurants as the average city. And while there are 79 percent more gyms and health clubs than average, residents are less likely to regularly use their memberships. Not many residents take advantage of outdoor activities, either. On the other end of the spectrum... Salt Lake City got top marks for being the fittest city because of its abundance of park space, athletically motivated residents, and below- average obesity rates. It ranks highest in the survey in the number of people who take part in activities like beach volleyball, racquetball, aerobics, hiking, basketball, yoga, tai chi, swimming, cycling, running, and kickboxing. "

Hmm.

Milwaukee, WI

wtf

1/24/2009 5:31:16 PM

Damn it....maybe I should just leave.

1/24/2009 5:31:19 PM

Evidently they're counting Peace & Meredith in these statistics. Take them out & I'm sure we drop from the top 25

SO TUFF

1/24/2009 5:34:34 PM

Cleveland is on the fittest list? That just doesn't seem right at all...and evidently the Mormons have their shit together.

1/24/2009 6:15:31 PM

lost all credibility when ANY city in Wisconsin was on the Fittest Cities list.

1/24/2009 6:16:38 PM

[no fatties]

1/24/2009 6:18:07 PM

NCSU Ducks Unlimited - likely the fattest wanna be outdoorsmen in the country?

1/24/2009 10:10:11 PM

I've applied for jobs in 4 of the top 10 fittest places. Guess I need to increase my visits to the gym

1/24/2009 10:34:27 PM

I really have a hard time believing that Miami, FL is the fattest city in the country.

1/24/2009 11:09:38 PM

blame it on that 190% Cook-Out

1/24/2009 11:16:18 PM

^^ you've never been to miami, i take it?

because once you get off the beach, the rest of the city is filled with all sorts of fatties with their fake tans, bad hair, and cheap bling.



and by the way, #9 Fittest = Seattle
