The south is weighing this country down.
Nowhere in the U.S. are Americans more overweight than in Mississippi and West Virginia, where more than 35 percent of the adult population is now obese, according to a new report from the Trust for America's Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The two southern states, however, are hardly alone in their alarmingly high obesity rates—another 18 U.S. states, including just about all of the U.S. south, have obesity rates at or above 30 percent.
The exceptions are few and far in between. Only seven U.S. states and one district—Vermont, Montana, Utah, California, Massachusetts, Hawaii, Colorado, and the District of Columbia—registered obesity rates below 25 percent. And only Colorado, the least obese state in the country, and Hawaii, the second least, registered obesity rates below 22 percent.

Now for the Colorado people to come in and brag about how there are the least obese.
However, they are more obese than the south was a few years ago when they were claiming the same thing.

What they don't tell you about is how the men outnumber the women there. Colorado is a big sausage fest because it's outdoors attracts so many dudes. I've actually heard Denver referred to as "Menver" before because of this.

OTers all have 8% bodyfat, to go along with their 400 lb bench, PhD's, 99th percentile IQ's, 7 figure incomes, and supermodel wives/GFs.

It's time for a fat tax. This shite is nothing more than vice and the healthcare costs are absurd.
