WalletHub: Seattle is one of the skinniest metro areas in the fattest country in the world

It's not exactly a secret that the United States is one of the least healthiest countries in the world.

Forty percent of Americans ages 15 and older are obese, according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.

But in Seattle, it's a bit of a different story. A recent WalletHub analysis puts the Emerald City in second-to-last on its list of fattest cities -- or, to put it differently, the second skinniest in the country, behind only San Francisco.

And right behind Seattle -- Portland, Oregon.

Looking at the rent there I wonder how many residents even have the money to eat after they pay their bills.

Add to that Seattle's monster hills, and we get a good workout moving around the city.
