Atlanta Dubbed "Lazy" By Forbes

October 31, 2007 | 9:58 am

Forbes magazine has come out with yet another list ranking various cities in a dubious category. This time the ranker is based on “Laziness”. The magazine determined ranks based on the city’s populations Body Mass Index, whether they exercise and by how much TV they watch.

Memphis topped the list.  Atlanta ranked 17th out of the top 20.

Atlanta officially apologizes to Forbes for not being as neurotic and trim as New York. Be assured that we’re working on toning our washboard stomachs and increasing our daily coffee intake.

Be aware that this is the same magazine that ranked Lawrenceville, Marietta, and Lilburn as the South’s most livable suburbs.
