CC FATTEST CITY

Corpus Christi is the fattest city in US: The article, click here.

Here is an almost perfect analysis by H. Swint Friday about how being one of the fattest cities affects almost everything: Click Here

I say almost perfect because I can't agree with this excerpt:

"Another major step is to restructure our tax code to reward good purchases and
punish bad ones with substantial sin taxes on everything from the chips at the
taqueria to Cokes, candy and unhealthy food at every outlet.

We then use
these tax proceeds to implement the most aggressive health campaign on this
issue in the country through education and the creation of the infrastructure
necessary for our citizens to fight this affliction successfully."
