You forgot to say that this question is about "How Oklahoma City's mayor got his city off" the list "".

Answer and Explanation:

Mick Cornett was the mayor of Oklahoma when the city entered the list showing the cities with the highest number of obese in the USA. Oklahoma reached the top of the list, which left the mayor uncomfortable and concerned about the health of citizens. He decided to promote healthier ways of life in cities, including for him, who was also overweight. For Cornett an efficient city has a healthy population and it is the duty of the government to encourage this lifestyle. To this end, he stipulated the creation of public policies that made it easier for people to walk and that discouraged the use of cars. It also promoted the practice of sports and healthy eating.
