Arlington Is Fat City (Fort Worth and Dallas Not Far Behind, So To Speak)

So Men’s Fitness thinks we’re fat, ranking Arlington, Fort Worth, and Dallas as the #2, #4, and #6 fattest cities in America. Maybe it’s genetic, but it’s hardly news for anyone who looks at their fellow patrons at the mall. But could this tidbit from the Star-Telegram be true?

No doubt this helps explain yet another Arlington phenomenon last year — a new restaurant opening on an average of every 9.6 days.

Discuss.

  1. This is the same publication that also said Arlington is the 4th best place in the nation to meet men. I guess this means all those single men are plump and fluffy.

  2. It’s kind of telling that a report supposedly ranking how fat a city is does not include one single category where a person’s weight is measured.

    Bogus, made up news that comes up every year.

  3. I’m far more surprised that Men’s Fitness ranks Arlington as a city. But then, they did rank “Pheonix” at #12 on the list.

  4. So Men’s Fitness says you’re fat, well I ain’t down with that.
