It's hilarious that Houston is #1 fattest and San Antonio is one of the fittest

Do you know why Charles Barkley is the most hated man in San Antonio??? Because he said the truth


Charles barkley disses woman from San antonio says they are fat woman in san antonio - YouTube

all these fast food places and no white castle or kryspy kreme. that sucks.

We have Whataburgers and taco trucks galore. That more than makes up for not having a White Castle.

Could care less about donuts...

No, no, no, no tstone, you couldn't be more wrong.

NOTHING makes up for the lack of White Castle!

I don't care if they build a bunch of In-N-Outs where a bunch of Sofia Vergara clones serve the food in white t-shirts in a building where the temperature is always 58 degrees.

NOTHING makes up for the lack of White Castle!

It's true. I lived in Miami for 8 years, and the first thing I noticed when I first visited Houston was the amount of obese people here.

What I've noticed is that most of the folks who criticize the overweight and obese are those same people who gulf down ten tacos or inhale a whole pizza, and it's only because of their more ideal metabolisms that they aren't chunky themselves.

Just because you look slender, that doesn't mean you aren't a fat ass. The extreme majority of America eats unhealthily, and we ALL need to change our ways; not just the people who pack on the pounds easily.

Only 12 out of the 50 states has a White Castle, and Tennessee is the furthest south that the chain goes. WC is a northeastern chain. I wouldn't hold my breath, waiting for them to come to Texas.

This is based on most fast food restaurents? That does not make sense. Unless they took the weight of each Houstonian?

lol, yeah. it's like saying the healthiest city(or cities) is based on how many Walgreens, CVS, Rite Ads or Duane Reades are in the city.....

This is a great post - because it's so true. Houston is so heavy for obesity and mega-population, that it's sinking into the earth. Eventually it will end up like New Orleans (a deep recessed bowl), and the waters of Galveston Bay will leak in and saturate the town. Yeah Baby, Houston's on it's way down!
