To add insult to injury- Oklahoma City\/Tulsa showed up as the number one “junk food obsessed city” on a new Forbes list<\/a>. Correct me if I’m wrong- but aren’t Taco Bell tacos junk food? Even if they are on a “healthier” menu?<\/p>\n

I’m not trying to beat-up on Oklahoma City today. I love that city- I went to college at OU. It’s heartbreaking to see how poor the health is due to obesity, 27% of the population according to this Forbes report<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Also on the list:
\n1. Memphis
\n2. Birmingham
\n3. San Antonio
\n5. Detroit
\n9. Kansas City
\n13. New Orleans
\n16. Atlanta<\/p>\n

While the Oklahoma City Mayor<\/a>, Mick Cornett, is encouraging his city to lose a million pounds and get off the list of fattest cities in the US, there seem to be a lot of obstacles. Allowing Taco Bell to partner with the OKC Million Pound Challenge<\/a> seems like one that could have been avoided. Oklahoma City should stand as an example for the many other cities it shares a place with on the obesity list.<\/p>\n
