The Fattest And Fittest US Cities Of 2011

Jenna

I live in the the SF Bay area and the obsession with exercise is beyond what any psychologist would call “OCD”. Exercise and how we look has become more important than family or religion. It is a sad state when so many kids feel lost and neglected because mom or dad put their looks first.

It’s not always about how you look. Its about your health. I work in healthcare and its sad to see young people that have hypertension disease and diabetes and the patterns are usally the same its due to poor nutrition and lack of excercise. Its more so a sin to destroy the body that god gave you by abusing it with food and lack of excercise

Jenna must have been neglected. Jenna, you need to workout.

If Seattle supposed to be the fittest city, obviously nobody bothered to tell the women there. Seattle ladies are LARGE and in charge! (well, at least they’re large) Seriously, I’ve never seen so many fat girl + fit guy couples in my life! So I guess if you’re an obese woman who can’t get any attention from guys in your own town, come to Seattle! There, instead of being the ugliest woman in the bar, you’ll be about average.
