MSN.com has released another study revealing America’s most overweight cities. The study ranked cities with letter grades after calculating several catalysts that support weight gain — 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 the number of people who ate fast food nine or more times in a month (Mediamark Research).
Here is the list, please enjoy discovering where you stand:
