Rarely do you see the data presented in this way. Louisiana whites rank only 19 out of 53 states and territories for obesity.

Is this chart saying that blacks are more prone to being obese then whites? Is it also saying that there's a much higher percentage of blacks in the south then other states? If so, I must say........no fricking shite.

Kansas will go from 1 to 46th if one of their 3 black people die.

Well if they are all fat they obviously have too many food stamps. Time to cut that gravy train off and give them sacks of rice and beans

No no no no no no no you're wrong and super racist for saying something like this.

I love how people make fun of the south and act like all of the south's poverty and poor educational, healthcare, and everything else rankings are because of only the white people.

Anyone else hip on the new lingo “food insecurity”.

It’s basically some bullshite excuse to explain why so many poor people are fat.

BTW, this chart combines overweight and obesity.

What stands out to me is that I am surprised that the black % weren't higher. Especially among black women. but the chart does not separate out genders.

That can’t be right. Have you looked in the stands at an LSU baseball game?

Am I reading it wrong?

It looks like LA is 19th from the bottom.

Doesn’t it say 66% of whites are overweight and 75% of blacks?

Am I derping here?

I'm not surprised that DC is the leanest.
