Fattest/Healthiest & Tallest/Shortest States

Why ?

In my anecdotal observation, Colorado has the tallest & thinnest general population. Louisiana has the shortest & prob fattest. A friend of mine visiting from Colorado was surprised by how many overweight children she saw here.

Upper Midwest is likely the tallest due to having the highest percentage of people of Scandinavian descent

The state of Bavaria is ranked last, ad infinitum.

100% chance OP is a short fat motherfricker.

I think CO is the healthiest state, and Summit County was just listed as the healthiest county in the nation.

To be fair, how could you not be healthy there?

But here? frick it. Always hot as balls. Everything we do outdoors is a stagnant activity. And the food is all bad for you (and taste amazing). It’s kind of amazing that we don’t all have heart disease.

Typically obesity is related to income. Poor people look for the cheapest nutrition, which is white carbs.

I’d rather be short, fat and happy, than tall skinny and miserable like most of the people up north

I think the stats say that Miss is number 1 followed by Alabama for fattest and dumbest.

As for tallest and shortest, I would think you could be correct on a hispanic state, maybe even Florida being near the top of the shortest state list.
