Like I've said, the Men's Fitness (Men's Cosmo) fattest cities list is rubbish. About the worst list for this subject out there; they didn't even actually measure people. They guessed at the list by coming up with factors like number of restaurants and sporting goods stores.

In the spirit of balance on this thread:

Bundle.com says Austinites are among the tops for overall spending, food & transportation (different studies). Here is a 3 month old report (http://www.progressivegrocer.com/progressivegrocer/content_display/supermarket-industry-news/e3id9db7bed8e9402cb560d98dbc6895314 - broken link).

Incredible that Austin outspends even NYC! Maybe Bundle is the new collaborative project from artsyguy and eepstein
