Just read Newsweek fattest cities in the USA, and saw Memphis as the #1 FATTEST CITY.
Am I surprised? NO!!!
With Super-Size joints on every corner, and every festival revolving around food & alcohol. (BBQ Festival, Hot Wing Festival, Beale Street Music Festival, Oktoberfest..ect) I’m surprised Memphis wasn’t #1 fattest city along time ago. I see individuals around Memphis with very unhealthy body masses eating & drinking their way to an early grave. I know Memphis government is really trying to make things healthier in the area. They have made bike lanes in midtown, a greenline that goes from Tillman to Farm Road for bike riders & runners. In time, yes, I feel more & more Memphians are seeing how unhealthy things are around here & are changing their lifestyles, but it is a little embarrassing to be seen in a negative light. See the other cities in the rankings below!!
