Balance of Food

I have never been to Baltimore, so I can't vouch for it being the fittest city in America. However, being based in Chicago, I can say it could be one of the fattest cities. Chicago actually won the "crown" (maybe a Burger King crown) of fattest city, according to Men's Fitness magazine. The previous champ was Houston. For those of us who have the love-hate relationship between Illinois and Wisconsin, it is shocking to find Milwaukee finished fifth in the fittest cities. Milwaukee makes Chicagoans look like California residents. Milwaukee has German food, beer, cheese curds (deep-fried balls of cheese) and custard (think rich ice cream with extra eggs). Last year, Baltimore was ranked the 25th fattest city in the Men's Fitness tally. So congrats to Chicago and Baltimore. Enjoy your status while you have them. The way Men's Fitness does its rankings, you will be way down on the list next year.
