According to this article in CNN now we're the 2nd fattest, right behind Detroit.
Okay so I no longer live there... but still there is something to saying you come from the fattest city in the nation. It's always a good excuse for eating anything deep fried... (I grew up eating this way, really I did).
Let's see Houston now vies with Los Angeles for smoggiest and now with Detroit for fattest! I did read an article recently that McDonald's launched some sort of health kick in Houston too offering low fat choices and some other stuff for healthier living. ah the irony.

Posted by: michelle at January 5, 2004 09:25 AMUh, that's just total misinformation. Here are the facts:
Big Mac = 600 calories
The Most Unhealthy Salad: 370 calories

Posted by: Dennis at January 5, 2004 03:28 PMif by misinformation you mean the inclusion of dressing and croutons, as most salad lovers are wont to do:
chicken cobb salad: 370 calories
newmann's own dressing: 120 calories
croutons: 50
total: 540
big mac: 600
