Tour de Chubs

Quick, how many of the top 20 fattest states have you lived in? I've personally lived in 5 of the fat states - Tennessee, Texas, Missouri, North Carolina and Pennsylvania. The way I'm laying in the winter fat at the moment, I prefer to think of them as "My People" rather than fat states...

1. Mississippi: 30.3%
2. West Virginia: 30.1%

Come to think of it, Colorado has the least number of obese people, followed closely by Hawaii. And what do those people eat? Buffalo steaks and poi? Bring on the fried oreos!

But do you suppose the fattest states have more gyms that no one goes to? Or fewer gyms because everybody's out at a restaurant?

Not surprising Colorado rules. I've never seen so many body-Nazis in my life. Even at the local WalMart, you only see fit folks. Amazing.
