Those findings are part of a national report released this week that shows Louisiana's rate tops 36 percent. That's up from around 23 percent in 2000. Fatness


quote:

The demographic in Louisiana with the biggest cause for concern is the 45 to 64-year-old group, with an obesity rate reaching 43 percent. The data further shows a disparity by race, with nearly 43 percent of black adults in Louisiana considered obese compared to 33 percent of white adults.

According to the report, Louisiana is one of seven states where adult obesity rates exceed 35 percent of the population


What's for lunch?

How about a free Wendy's single with cheese?

Honestly thought Louisiana would be 2nd or 3rd highest based on past data. Improving?

The reason black people are fatter is because of racist developers who refuse to build grocery stores in black neighborhoods, leaving them without access to healthy food options.

Based on LSU baseball and football games I’m surprised we aren’t number 1. Lots of fat fricks pouring over the seats.
