Put down that slice of deep-dish pizza, Chicago.
The "City of Big Shoulders" is now the city with the thickest waistline, according to an annual survey.
Men's Fitness magazine has named Chicago the nation's fattest city, blaming Chicagoans' love of television and lack of exercise.
The city often has ranked near the top of the fattest list-- it was No. 5 last year. But it catapulted to the highest spot in 2006 because it has the survey's worst workout environment, said Men's Fitness editor Neal Boulton.
