I'm doing my part to put our city at number 1!

Anyway, I got this emailed to me yesterday--friends wanted to know who in Buffalo didn't weigh in.

When I lived in Louisiana, everyone took a sort of decadent pride in the news when New Orleans topped or appeared high on the list -- proof that we had the best food! I don't know where they are on the list these days . . . but I sure do miss the food. I guess the whole cheesesteak thing is starting to grow on me, though. ;-)

Default Were not fat, just too much to handle! City of Blubbery Love

:icon_be_:

ok... fat cities means bigger health problems, which means a whole lota revenue for our hospitals, pharmas.

We should be striving to be numeber 1! The fattest city in the world!

then we could sell tickets and increase our tourism... come see the worlds fattest population.

On this note, I'm gonna have me a cheese steak with extra whiz, some cheese fries and a thick chocolate shake.

Philly: The city of Blubbery Love! Obecity.

I still love it here. op:

Yea

Think of it this way, if you are a fit individual, your value has just gone up in the city of Philadelphia. Its like when you go to the bar with your ugly friends, it just makes you that much better.

Always look on the bright side of life!

US fat cities are all west of here and east of the rockies. Pittsbughers can get down right massive. I don't see bigzillas here like I saw there. We have to walk too much.

I don't see how Philly can be the #2 city. Granted I've only been there once, but I didn't see NEARLY as many obese/overweight people there as I see sitting in my office at this very moment.

We put lard on everything here, I don't get it. Do they go by population?
Well, when I move I will do my best at helping the city become #1.

Our marketing slogan won't need to change too much...."Philadelphia, the city that loves you fat."

I'm doing my part here as well... gained at least 5 lbs since moving back and Geno's and I are having a wonderful love affair.

I blew my new year's resolution already.
