Greenville comes in the top 100 on many national list. Be VERY GLAD we didn't make the top 100 on this list. It is the list of "heaviest cities in the U.S." Only one SC city made the top 100 at number 38.

Sad to see Boston is #52. I always thought we were a healthier city

Los Angeles at #46 really shocked me! I thought everyone in Southern Cal was fit, trim, tan and beautiful (at least that is the image the media portrays).

Funny how powerful media stereotypes are. I guess that's the same reason why people not from the South think we're bumbling idiots who are doing well to finish the 8th grade. Oh yeah, and we all live on farms. MOO!
