Baltimore = (mis)fittest city in America`

[vernacular_life]

This is on Yahoo's front page right now.  Cracks me up. 

So, I either live in the healtiest city in the Country (doubtful) or 7 from the bottom..

Oho, and as for the safety/crime record?  We only had 280 murders last year.  And no, there's not a lot of chain fastfood resteraunts downtown, but that's because most corperate studies don't rate the zip codes as being profitable.

I'm really confused that Honolulu is #2 fittest. Yeah, the people in their teens, 20s, and even 30s are fit and trim. I'd guess about 75% of people over that age that I saw (we stayed in Waikiki, maybe that's the issue...?) were morbidly obese. I wonder what gives with these stats.
