Because Texans know how to make great BBQ and Tex-Mex...we like our food and we like our food cooked in dripping fat...

Fat People In Texas

Texas has some of the fattest cities for a few reasons. One is the amount of restaurants. Houston for example has one of the highest restaurants per capita in the country. Second is the portion size, everything is bigger in Texas, including the amount of food you get (and it is good too). Restaurants here thrive on charging a few extra dollars on plates and giving you more food than you know what to do with. It is just a couple extra handfulls of french fries to them. Third, the climate here is not the best for outside activity. It is hot as hell for about 8 months out of the year, so it is difficult for people to get themselves off the couch. But, for the record, the whole country is fat and getting fatter.

I think a better question is, Why are people in general so fat?
my answer to that would be:
no self control
horrible eating habits
no exercise
and pure laziness
C'mon people! Would it kill you to eat something healthy and exercise a bit? and teach your kids to do the same?
oh wait, it wouldn't kill you, it might prevent you from having an early coronary or gastric bypass surgery at like 25!
grrrr!

Swiss people are the healthiest people in the world and they eat alot of cheese and have butter and cream in their diet more than Americans, It's all portion control and self control+ exercise and an active lifestyle

If you are referring to the fattest cities in the US survey...we have the best Tex-Mex restaurants anywhere and you won't stay skinny eating Tex-Mex...
Other than that, people are getting obese everywhere...it is in the foods we eat and the sodas we consume...we stopped eating healthy a long time ago...
