  I think your list is completely wrong. I don't think Miami would be consider the fattest or LA, Vegas, New York, these cities are all about looking good and taking good care of yourself.

  Ha! In your face Miami! I'm from Salt Lake City, and it's true. We have some of the most beautiful people around (so i'm told from outsiders, and i'm more than willing to believe it). In fact, i heard on the radio a while back (whether it's true, i don't know), that it wasn't LA believe it or not that had highest numbers of plastic surgery, it was, in fact, SLC.

  Well, Houston is finally no longer # 1! How did that happen? There are over 10,000 restaurants here and most are excellent and not expensive. We love going out to eat. This is one diverse city and you can find any cuisine of your choice. Of course, there is also a fast food place on every corner. All those F150's are lined up every morning waiting for their sausage biscuits.

  Now, as for our sister city, San Antonio... ohmigawd! The Mexican food is to die for!

  If I lived there, they would need a fork lift to move me.

  Prissy Austin made the good list. I can see that. There are many lakes and hiking/biking trails are everywhere. Very well laid out and planned by the city. Really a very nice place to live. As a bonus, Sixth Street jives with some of the best bands in the USA on weekends.

  Of coarse places like Las vegas and Miami have the skinny beautiful people they are mostly rich tourists.

  America that is the United States is the only nation where rich people are thin and poor people are fat.

  Go figure.

  Uh uh, John, only the nightclubbers here are skinny. The vast majority

  of people here- visitors or tourists- are NOT skinny. And most of the

  people who travel here are middle-class. About 25% of the visitors

  simply drive in from LA.

  Not that I give a rat's behind on how my city fares in a "Men's Health"

  survey. That magazine is the world's sorriest waste of trees.

  Springtime, I really enjoy how you're going at it on that Vegan blog.

  It's funny how jennylorraine and duchess insist that they're not

  preaching- and then they preach and proselytize at you! Go southern

  food!

  Excuse me, "Men's Fitness". Not that it really matters.

  I live in Utah, just outside of Salt Lake, and this makes sense. It's easy to stay healthy here when you have mountains to hike/bike/run or whatever in just a few minutes away, and during the winter you can ski/snowboard. People here are active and like to be outside doing things. It also doesn't hurt that most people here are Mormon (I'm not one) and it's against their religion to smoke or drink. There are also parks everywhere, and during the warm months they are always filled with people enjoying the outdoors. I do feel like there are quite a few fast food places around here though, but maybe not as many as in other states.

  Uh Spam I Am missed the point the rich ones are skinny and frequent the bueatiful places, most middle class and lower class Americans are obese or over weight which would be upwards of 80% AND PLUS.I notice the European tourists are not overweight on the average. So look closer at the rats ass (or locals)
