Little Rock, Arkansas, has topped the list of America’s Fattest Cities that are almost all located in the South, according to a new report.

In honor of National Nutrition Month in March, WalletHub ranked 100 US cities from fittest to fattest based on everything from percentage of obese children to access to healthy foods.

The Arkansas capital took the title of fattest city, and on the other end of the spectrum Portland, Oregon, was ranked the healthiest city.

I'm not sure I would agree with that, but I would rank it as unhealthy.

I'm not surprised to hear most of fattest cities are located in the south since they are known for some of the best food, but I never thought Little Rock would be #1. I would think more NOLA but it's not even on the list.

Considering the source, I'm skeptical, not on the fattest cities, but the average American woman weighs 168 lbs? 150 I'd believe.

Another list. I just don't believe that at all, I've seen some pretty hefty people here in Colorado. But I agree with Hollynia, the best food is in the south!

Good for the people of Little Rock. At least they are fat and happy. Nothing wrong with that. Let them enjoy themselves!

Who says fat = happy?

I don't think increased risk of diabetes, heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure, and many other illnesses related to obesity = happy.

Maybe they are happy until they develop those problems.
