"More than one in ten primary one children in Midlothian is now considered clinically obese - the worst rate in the country.
Edinburgh doesn't fare much better, with more than one in nine failing the weight test."
I think you'll find that means Edinburgh fares worse.

In some ways it's worse than just Glasgow. It's Shettleston and other similar areas. If you're in a leafy suburb of Glasgow you live much longer. Some of it is due to premature deaths from drug abuse.
Coatbridge won the overall lard award but not a specific kid's one.
