I don't know or care what metric they used, but there is *literally* no way hoover is the 6th fattest city in america. For one it's relatively affluent which generally leads to less fatties. There's also a massive 3 story rec center that is packed everyday and a bustling youth sports community. There are a lot of young working adults that live there as well after college which again often results in somewhat healthier populations. Go down the interstate a ways to ensley or bessemer where you have lower income communities and I bet anything those places are far fatter.
