Probably just walked around the city one day and said "Yep, this is the place"


If so, they missed Gatlinburg.

Previous Gallup and Healthways research shows that obesity appears to be more common in smaller communities than large ones. This means that less populated communities, which are not represented in this analysis, could have obesity rates even higher than the 35.9% found in the Baton Rouge metro area.

food deserts, poverty, minimum wage are the reason for this.

well if they went by BMI, this obviously just means that BR has the most jacked people in the nation


I swear I remember seeing an article within the last two years that proclaimed Baton Rouge as one of the fittest cities in the country.

this is no laughing matter, college boy. Obviously you have never been poor or even stepped foot in the ghetto. Some people do not have the option to choose from themselves. The corporations have marketed so well that people believe that fast food and junk food the better option.
