How the hell is Louisiana not #1 with those food choices? I count against Georgia, but it was definitely Louisiana's fault.

Mississippi has all the fried foods and the Louisiana foods on the coast. It is hard to eat healthy on the Ms Coast

Well looking on the bright side of these rankings, football is still won in the trenches and we have some big boys in our state and in the south in general.

Ive heard recruiting guys talk about the south being dominant on the lines bc of our obesity problem. It's why the pac12 get out manned when we played

Well, crap, being from LA I’ve only got a half a year left to live? That’s it? It’s cold outside right now but screw it, I’m going fishing.

Have to consider the BMI measurements are sometimes very flawed. South has athletes that are massive, even if its hardened muscle could have a higher BMI, if not mistaken. Hell, SEC needs all the big boys it can get. Food is THAT much better than the north (where I am), can’t fault the folk in the South lol
