Mississippi is the Fattest US State

CalorieLab has just released their 2006 Fattest US States list & it looks like the South wins again. Mississippi has taken the cake, as it were, for the fattest state in 2006.

Based on a three year statistical average, 29.5% of the population of Mississippi is obese. And if you include the overweight population of the gulf state, over 2/3 of the state’s residents are overweight or obese.

Following close behind Mississippi are other southern state: Alabama, West Virginia, Louisiana & Kentucky. Colorado is the leanest state, must be that elevation, followed by Montana & New England states.

I think we need to get down to Mississippi & swap the Moon Pies & RC Cola for carrots & peas.

Eat well & Laugh often!
