Title: How FAT is your state? Post by: CheezeFlixz on July 18, 2008, 07:39:57 PM How fat is your state, if you're in the the states. My state is Kentucky and tied for 13 ... I would have bet money we were much higher looking at some of the lard-asses waddling around town.
Anyway is a list from the CDC ranking the chunky monkeys and as usual the deep fried south takes the cake ... get 'takes the cake' ... oh never mind here's the list. Percentage of population that are obese. 1. Mississippi: 32% 2. Alabama: 30.3% 3. Tennessee: 30.1% 4. Louisiana: 29.8% 5. Arkansas: 28.7% 6. West Virginia: 29.5% 7. South Carolina: 28.4% 8. Georgia: 28.2% 9. Oklahoma and Texas: 28.1% 10. North Carolina: 28% 11. Michigan: 27.7% 12. Alaska, Missouri, and Ohio: 27.5% 13. Delaware and Kentucky: 27.4% 14. Pennsylvania: 27.1% 15. Iowa and Kansas: 26.9% 16. Indiana: 26.8% 17. North Dakota: 26.5% 18. South Dakota: 26.2% 19. Nebraska: 26% 20. Minnesota: 25.6% 21. Oregon: 25.5% 22. Arizona and Maryland: 25.4% 23. Washington: 25.3% 24. New York: 25% 25. Illinois: 24.9% 26. Maine: 24.8% 27. Wisconsin: 24.7% 28. Idaho: 24.5% 29. New Hampshire: 24.4% 30. Virginia: 24.3% 31. Nevada: 24.1% 32. New Mexico: 24% 33. Wyoming: 23.7% 34. New Jersey: 23.5% 35. California: 22.6% 36. Montana, Utah, and Washington, D.C.: 21.8% 37. Hawaii and Rhode Island: 21.4% 38. Massachusetts and Vermont: 21.3% 39. Connecticut: 21.2% 40. Colorado: 18.7% Title: Re: How FAT is your state? Post by: HappyGilmore on July 18, 2008, 08:31:19 PM Yay, PA is 14. Congratu-f'ing'-lations guys. But I live in PA. And, no I'm not fat at all. I lost all that weight by working out.
Right here in the Philly area, it's wow. Between the pretzels, the cheesesteaks, Tastykake, water ice, etc., I figured we'd be higher. And honestly, the cheesesteak thing is only good in Philly, due to the rolls we use. Amoroso's Rolls. Granted, there's a high alkalinity in it, but the taste is magnificent.

I'm proud to announce I'm not part of the percentage and watch what I eat.
Title: Re: How FAT is your state? Post by: Patient7 on July 19, 2008, 12:24:23 AM 25, and Illinois is not fat, it's just big boned is all.
Get your mind out of the gutter Menard. Title: Re: How FAT is your state? Post by: odinn7 on July 19, 2008, 09:59:40 AM No way that is accurate....I live in Pennsylvania and I'm telling you...it HAS to be number one on the list. Everywhere I go, people are HUGE! It's unreal and quite disgusting to see all the women here rolling out of their clothes....of course they think they're hot. Anyway....I often sit and count and I average 6-7 fat people per every 10 that I see....is it just my particular area?

Hate to admit that, but damn.Although, there are quite a few fit and trim people too. I work with some cute chicks. Title: Re: How FAT is your state? Post by: Derf on July 20, 2008, 12:21:22 PM Something is definitely wrong; Texas is only #9? My guess is that someone ate the surveyors (probably deep fried & dipped in ranch dressing with a side of Mars bar and a Diet Dr Pepper).

Hate to admit that, but damn.Although, there are quite a few fit and trim people too. I work with some cute chicks. I would like to know as well. I'm near the state capital and there are some larger people around where I live. Just go to the local Wal-Mart and you will see what I mean. I do see my share of larger people but there are also a bunch of skinner people around as well. I'm still skinny but I've put some weight out since my health is not that good, but once I fully recover I'm going to lose all the extra weight that I put on. Title: Re: How FAT is your state?

My guess is that someone ate the surveyors (probably deep fried & dipped in ranch dressing with a side of Mars bar and a Diet Dr Pepper). Do you live in Texas, Derf? I live in Texas and have lived there for the past 27 years. Thus, it doesn't surprise me to find Texas in the top 10. The only thing that surprises me is that Texas tied with Oklahoma. When everybody on both sides of the Red River know that Texas beats Oklahoma, if you include the hairdos on the women in Texas Title: Re: How FAT is your state?

When everybody on both sides of the Red River know that Texas beats Oklahoma, if you include the hairdos on the women in Texas Indeed I do live in Texas and have just about all my life (I went to Kansas for 3 years for grad school). I'm deep in the bowels of the state (South Texas), and I see a lot of large people. I'm admittedly overweight, but I'm not morbidly obese like many in this area. And when you think that Texas has a population around six times greater than that of Oklahoma (or any of the other top ten states on the list), that makes the whole thing that much sadder.

Title: Re: How FAT is your state? Post by: Joe the Destroyer on August 10, 2008, 06:10:50 PM D'oh! I didn't notice the DC part. Well, #23 isn't so bad...
Title: Re: How FAT is your state? Post by: ghouck on August 10, 2008, 07:03:41 PM I fail to believe Alaska isn't the fattest, , sure seems like it to me. I visit Ohio from time to time, , There's NO WAY they are the same.
Title: Re: How FAT is your state? Post by: ghouck on August 11, 2008, 11:39:14 PM It's on the west coast, extending south to the Mexican border. .
It's 10th best with 22.6%, which is deceiving, because the WORST state only had 32% |
