[Displaced Bama Fan]

What a crock. What a scientific method they used. Number of gyms v. number of fast food joints. Man, I wish I was getting paid to come up with stuff like this.

 

[TexasBama]

Notice Houston went down and Austin went up

Corresponds with my move

 

[Displaced Bama Fan]

It's all based on your alcohol consumption.

 

[TommyMac]

Four of the top six in Texas? They obviously need to cut back on the chicken fried steak and Lone Star.

 

[NYBamaFan]

Anyone that believes this has never walked the streets of Manhatten. The women are way too skinny, and the men way too buff. Working out is not a fad in NYC, it is a way of life. Fat? Only those commuting in from the suburbs...
