i bet white southerners have higher overweight and obesity rates than white east and west coasters


That’s a dumb bet. Of course that’s true.

But the black population in the south is vastly more overweight than the white. That’s not really debatable.

I think it’s a myriad of reasons though. Mostly dietary issues and compared to the other regions, hardly anybody exercises or does any form of physical activity. The south has a very sedentary lifestyle.

Black women try to be thicc because that's what black men like in the South

Plus you have Asians and Dot Indians skewing the states for the west coast because most of them are on the skinny side
