These lists vary wildly from year to year. They're complete and utter bullsh*t.

Yeah, Philly used to be at the top of the fattest list (about two years ago or so) and now we're down to twenty.

I once saw a list with San Francisco as #1, probably due to Hipsters and Aisnas,

     We also have a great public transportation system & at only 49 mi2, it's completely possible to live here without owning a car.

Don't you mean a terrible public transportation system, Mr. 8.58 economic score?


Anyways, New York seems way too fat.

^This is nice and all but what the hell does this concretely have to do with how fit or fat people actually are.   For example, Philly goes to fattest to fittest in the span of a few years because the mayor tells people to stop eating cheesesteaks....  And what does air quality have to do with being fat.     These are misnamed studies- headline grabbers.
