Houston - considered #4 fattest city. Thoughts?

Is this post offensive? Do you live in a city considered a fat one?

Unfortunately by statistics, sure, we do live in a fat city. I used to be considered obese and obese in Houston is Average.

It bothers me that there are all kinds of awareness's out there for EVERYTHING other than obesity and the dangers that come with it.

I bring this up because I made a comment that in Houston everyone is fat (we were talking about dating) and I was told that I was bashing fat people for saying that.

I don't see how making a statement based on statistics is bashing fat people.

I did however bash skinny Houston people, so yes there was bashing, but it was about the stuck up skinny people in Houston that think they are hot **** because they aren't overweight. So to be fair, yes there was some bashing, but it was not to obese or overweight people.

If my post offends you, I apologize.
