Fat Worth

Star Telegram | 01/03/2004 | LIVING LARGE IN TEXAS is how it’s titled in the online version of the Fort Worth Star Telegram, but the print version headline was better (the title for this post).

We’re number 6 in the nation, according to Men’s Health Magazine, which is where I go for my epidemiologic research. Dallas was number 3, and Arlington was number 8.

I don’t put a lot of stock in this sort of thing, but we do have our fair share of heavy hitters here.

Really I just posted it because I liked the title. Oh, and for the record, the Fort Worth Star Telegram is a pretty good fishwrap for straight reporting, just remember the rule on their editorial advice: always do the opposite of their recommendations. You’ll be glad that you did.
