McAllen, Texas, has the highest share of obese adults and highest share of physically inactive adults, which grants it the title of the fattest city in the US.
Shreveport, LA comes in second place and Memphis, TN comes in third.
The report compared 100 of the most populated US metro areas across 19 key metrics. The data combines a number of aspects such as share of obese adults, share of overweight children, as well as projected obesity rates by 2030.
