well minority of them are not fat, but majority are indeed fat.

I'd say that when over 60% of your population is obese, it's not quite a stereotype anymore.
Varda but what have you got to loose?
You are not fat, you are slim and sexy. Show off your body and drive those men insane, come on girl.
umm... over 60% of the population is obese??? walking around, you dont see a majority of people that are fat, let alone obese. sure, theres no shortage of fatties here, but the large majority of people are quite normal sized, judging from just seeing people walking around.Maybe your city is among the most fit. That doesn't change the national picture, though. I think the correct number is 64%.

thats because they all sit home and order pizza from home too and drive in extra wide SUV's.
well my city isnt on the list (its too small - population 70,000) but i dont know exactly how we compare to the rest of the country, i havent traveled much at all. but i really find it hard to believe that 64% of the population is fat. i mean, thats two thirds! seriously, that is an unbelievable figure to me...
u have a source?
hmm... after googling, i found this:

Hey, not all us Americans are pigs! Jeeze. Jerks. My city is number 8 on the fittest cities. I don't think that's too bad. I'm guessing the only reason Seattle made the list is because we're so fucking granola (Green is in and organic is good). Not to mention the weather here is shitty half the time so we're so depressed we don't eat. What the hell. I love my city and I'm not some obese fatty who sits on my ass or has a glandular problem that I can't help. Not everyone who is fat is lazy you know.
The rating system is suspect - they don't distinguish muscle from fat.
But Americans are fat, for sure. And as long as the OP brought the topic up, obesity is correlated with race, religion, and economic class in the US - the increasing obesity has tracked the increasing percentage of nonwhite people, the increasing poverty, and the increasing role of religion, in recent years.

I live in the 15th fittest city in the USA! Wahoo.
Odd. I don't notice any less fatties here or more fit people. While I do agree that my generation, in particular, works out a lot more than my parents (pretty much all of my friends work out a lot), I can't say that this isn't true in most other cities.
