Colorado News

Monica sent me these stats about the most obese states. Here are the 10 states with the highest percentage of adult obesity, according to a 2007 survey by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
1. Mississippi, 32.0 percent
2. Alabama, 30.3
3. Tennessee, 30.1
4. Louisiana, 29.8
5. West Virginia, 29.5
6. Arkansas, 28.7
7. South Carolina, 28.4
8. Georgia, 28.2
9. Oklahoma, 28.1
10. Texas, 28.1
That good old Southern cooking is killing us but what a way to go! The least obese state in the Union is, you guessed it, Colorado with only 19% obesity rate. I hope I don't tip the scales when we move there and they lose this ranking. I feel slimmer just thinking about moving there.
