Memphis is America's Fattest City!

Forbes Magazine set out to find America's Most Sedentary City, and guess what? It's US! Good ol' Memphis, Tennessee. Memphis' perfect combination of high obesity, high television-watching rate, urban sprawl, poverty, and relative lack of parkland, landed us the top spot.

It sounds sort of silly, but the article is quite serious, well-researched, and well worth a read.

Do we need more a physical activities? I am not sure, let me hire a consultant (perhaps the one our Mayor used ?) and we'll get back with you with the findings.
