No wonder Texas is so full of porkers. Four of the eight "most overweight" cities in the USA are in Texas. Here's the list:

1. Houston
2. Chicago
3. Detroit
4. Philadelphia
5. Dallas
6. Columbus, Ohio
7. San Antonio
8. Fort Worth

"overwight" cities were determined by such criteria as number of sporting goods stores, number of chain eateries, number of health clubs, local landscape (mountain climbing opportunities, rowing opportunities, etc.).

They would have done just as well to get the driver's license data for the area and compare height to weight (along with age/sex).
