Local pride: We're number 1!!!!

Men's Fitness Magazine declared Chicago as the nation's fattest city.

From AP:

Italian beef. Deep-dish pizza. Hot dogs. The foods closely associated with Chicago aren't known for being healthy for the waistline.

But news Friday that Men's Fitness magazine has ranked Chicago as the "fattest city in America" took many Windy City residents by surprise.

Sure, they chuckle at Saturday Night Live's portrayal of Chicago's "Super Fans" (Think Chris Farley in a football jersey and grass skirt, "choking" on a bratwurst while singing the praises of "Da Bears.")

But the country's fattest city?

I believe it. Lot of heavy people here.
