These lists are insane. The factors they're choosing must be distorting them. Any list that has St. Louis and Milwaukee under "fittest" and New York under "fattest" is cooking the books.

You may be right.  Do you have any proof or just anecdotal?  I agree, the lists seem kind of...odd? at first glance and I'm sure the science isn't to MIT levels.
