KC hits "fattest cities" list again, resolves to change
According to two recent
KCStar articles, KCs repeated listing among the nation's fattest cities in Men's Fitness magazine's yearly ratings (No. 14 this year) has finally brought a response:
Mayor Kay Barnes and Research Medical Center launched a yearlong citywide fitness campaign Tuesday after Men's Fitness magazine again ranked the city as one of the nation's fattest - No. 14 in this year's list.
Participants in the campaign, called "Get Moving KC," can pledge to adopt healthier habits by losing weight, quitting smoking, eating better and exercising more.
