Colorado currently has the lowest obesity rates (23%) in the US. Colorado's current obesity rates would be the highest in the US in 1990 by 8 percentage points (Mississippi was the most obese state in 1990 at 15%).

Portions at restaurants, especially fast food ones, have also gotten larger. In the 80's when McDonald's introduced the value meals, the fries and drink were a standard size equivalent to the small size of today. They only had 2 sizes in fries - small and large. The small came in the white paper holder, the large in the red cardboard holder. I think it was around 92 when they introduced the large and extra large size value meals. I seem to recall to get the Dream Team plastic cups during the 92 Olympics, you had to order the large extra value meal.
