Damn..... we really are slacking, but to be fair it is hard to beat Mississippi where EVERYTHING is fried.......EVERYTHING. I was surprised that WVA was the fattest.....junkies and Meth heads tend not to eat all that much

We need to get back to fat shaming. Public pressure is the only way to get things back on track.

I fat shame myself quite often. I was in Nashville all weekend and drank nonstop and ate like shite.

I punished myself by not eating again for 36 hours.

I wouldn’t have thought WV would be so high.

You’d think all the meth and other drug use would keep weight low.

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.


I don't know if they are being deliberately racist or just making business decisions, but it's quite obvious black communities do not have access to healthier food options.

What makes a state obese?

Good food and ability to drive everywhere you need to go.

I like living in an obese state.

According to a dickhead who was posting here yesterday, if all these fatties would just skip breakfast and eat a larger dinner they would not be fat.

Like what? Are there no fruits and vegetables in stores in black communities? No leaner meats? What? And, please explain how it would be racist. How would stocking a store be a declaration that one race is superior to another?

Skipping breakfast is not a bad idea for most people. I gain weight whenever I get into the habit of eating breakfast, even when it's healthy. I've read a couple studies that suggested breakfast leads to weight gain. But, ultimately it's calories in vs calories burned.

They don't have grocery stores that sell groceries? And by groceries I mean eggs, milk, meat, fruits, vegetables, bread, etc. Not corn chips, Koolaid, and canned cheese.

Would you build a grocery store in an area likely to be burned down the first time the locals get upset? I wouldn't. Reminds me of the folks up in Ferguson MO, who rioted and burned down their local grocery store and then got PISSED when the company that owned the store decided they weren't going to rebuild.
