*LIST* The “Fattest” States In The Country Are…
It’s no secret that a lot of people in the country are overweight, and while there are overweight people in every state, there are some states where more of the population is considered “fat,” and a new report reveals which ones they are. To be clear, I hate using the term fat. I’d like to go with the term overweight, but this list seems not to be sensitive to peoples life story.
Overall, Mississippi was named the “Fattest” state in the country, scoring a 70.66 and ranking number one for Obesity & Overweight Prevalence, which includes share of overweight and obese adults, teenagers and children. It also came in seventh for Health Consequences, which includes adults, teens and children with diseases like high cholesterol, diabetes and hypertension, and tenth for Food & Fitness.
