Your typo answers your question. 
We're the biggest in the federation, on average. There are caveats - you don't see many shockingly overweight people, and most of the largest ones tend to be rural and older. But, like Ayreonaut described it, it's as though everyone here is carrying around an extra 5-10 lbs compared to CGY, VAN, etc.
And a lot of us are short, thick Irish stock. I'm technically obese if I plug in my measurements into one of those online tests, but I'm actually pretty fit, v-shaped, etc.
