We've all heard about America's growing obesity problem, but some areas of the country are worse than others. Men's Health recently released their annual list of "America's Fattest Cities" and 5 Texas cities are among the top 10.
To determine the rankings, Men's Health calculated the percentage of people who are overweight, the percentage with type 2 diabetes, the percentage who haven't left the couch in a month (CDC Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System); the money spent on junk food (Bureau of Labor Statistics); and finally, the number of people who ate fast food nine or more times in a month (Mediamark Research).
Here are America's Top 10 Fattest Cities:
1. Corpus Christi, TX
2. Charleston, WV
3. El Paso, TX
4. Dallas, TX
5. Memphis, TN
6. Kansas City, MO
7. San Antonio, TX
8. Baltimore, MD
9. Houston, TX
10. Birmingham, AL
