It's no secret that obesity is an epidemic in America.

An estimated 93.3 million adults and 13.7 million children and adolescents in the U.S. are affected by obesity, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and many experts fear the problem is getting worse. Aside from the daily obstacles — such as traveling — obesity increases the risk of many serious health problems including heart disease, stroke, cancer and diabetes. All four are listed on the top 10 leading causes of death nationwide.

The report, released in full here, uses the scores from all three categories to determine which states rank as the “fattest state” in the nation. Earning the top spot is Mississippi, which came in first overall for prevalence of obesity, seventh for health consequences and 10th for food and fitness. Coming in second is West Virginia — which ranked fourth for obesity, first for health consequences and 39th for food and fitness. Rounding out the top 10 for fattest states (in order) are Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Delaware and Ohio.

Colorado and Utah are considered the skinniest states



Are there any fatties on the OT?

Can we do this by race in each state?

The OT is uniformly 6-4, 225, 8% bodyfat, benches 400 for reps, made a 32 on the ACT, is married to a 9.5 and has an upper seven figure net worth.

I thought the gumps were last? At least in US News report they were. LA was 48th. I'm pretty sure that we've held the murder crown for quite a while though.

“Calorie restricted diets may help in the short term to rapidly lose weight... yet often result in an unhealthy preoccupation with calories and body weight, and rapid re-gain of the weight loss,” says Amy Nickerson, a registered dietician and nutritionist


This is a ridiculous statement. Consuming fewer calories than we burn is the only way to lose weight. Apart from lipo or removing limbs.
