From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Officials and residents are taking issue with a magazine study that ranked their city as one of the nation’s fattest.
Men’s Fitness named San Jose as the country’s 24th fattest city, behind San Diego, Fresno and Philadelphia. Chicago won the designation as the fattest city, followed by Las Vegas, Los Angeles and Dallas.
David Vossbrink, a spokesman for San Jose Mayor Ron Gonzales, said the nation’s 10th-biggest city is no different from other locations across the country.
