Everything's bigger in Texas

I just saw a list of the fattest/fittest cities in the US. Texas, as always, is amazing. The list of fattest cities is:

1. Las Vegas
2. Arlington, Tx
3. San Antonio, Tx
4. Fort Worth, Tx
5. El Paso, Tx
(Dallas in at 6 and Houston rounding out the list at 10. Dale Bentley came in at a respectable 13.)

How awesome are we?

"Texas does have our share of overweight people," John Foreyt from the Baylor College of Medicine says. "Texas is a very diverse state, with strong cultural traditions. Food is very important to us. Texans eat out a lot." Word...

The top 5 fittest cities were Colorado Springs (apparently sodomy burns calories like none other), Minneapolis (#1 on my list of cities with the sexiest women. *wink* The article also says you people watch 49% less tv? What the fuck is that about?), Albuquerque, Denver and Portland.

Dammit, I'm going to get Nacogdoches on this list. People keep telling me I should set goals for myself.

On a related note, congratulations, Jared Fogle. Congrats on losing 240 lbs and keeping it off for 10 years. Also, congratulations go out to Carnie Wilson for losing 240 lbs and keeping it off for about 53 seconds.

Texas also ranks in the top 5 for naked fat guys sleeping on the sidewalk. I'm only kidding. That guy's dead.
