So it looks like the people who run one American town heard the phrase "obesity crisis", and assumed that it meant that there aren't enough obese people.

And they declared war on teeth at the same time.

Hmmm.
Pecos County exists, but Talon isn't mentioned. Either it's a fake, or too small and insignificant to mention.
