>According to the report conducted by the Trust for America’s Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, adult obesity rates now exceed 35% in 4 states and 30% in 25 states. What’s more, obesity rates are above 20% in every single state across the country. To put that in perspective, the authors point out that in 1991, no state had a rate above 20%
>And the state with the highest adult obesity rate in 2015? That would be Louisiana at 36.2%. Mississippi, Alabama and West Virginia weren’t far behind, all with obesity rates above 3%.
>The report, entitled “The State of Obesity: Better Policies for a Healthier America,” also found that obesity rates decreased in four states – Minnesota, Montana, New York and Ohio. Colorado had the lowest obesity rate in 2015 at 20.2 percent.
>Only 2 states – Kansas and Kentucky – saw their obesity rates get worse. In all other states, the obesity rates remained stable from 2014 to 2015.
>This marks the first year in the past decade that any states have experienced decreases, with the exception of a decline in Washington, D.C. in 2010.
>The results also shed some light on racial and ethnic disparities. Specifically, the report found: Adult obesity rates are at or above 40% for blacks in 14 states. Adult obesity rates are at or above 30% for blacks in 40 states and Washington, D.C. Adult obesity rates are at or above 30% for Latinos in 29 states and Washington, D.C. Adult obesity rates are at or above 30% for whites in 16 states and Washington, D.C. American Indian/Alaska Natives have an adult obesity rate of 42.3%.
Funny how the most liberal states are the least obese.

The fattest states are also the most nigger/spic states. Mexico has the highest obesity rate in the world.

Nah, filled with well-off, happy, educated and active whites in general.
Nicholas Parker
Good luck with surgery! Sup Forums helped redpill myself into losing about 180lbs. Was at 200, but binge eating cost be 20lbs before I stopped myself from slipping further. Takes effort, but worth it. I'm ashamed of my past degeneracy.

Thanks friend.
Even if the world is falling apart we can take solace in our gains.

How long until they create a new 40%+ bracket?
Henry Anderson
I don't understand how someone can have so little willpower as to be obese. It confounds me as to how anyone could possibly bear living in such a way.

I mean seriously what the actual fuck aren't you people ashamed of looking fat?
you are given one life on this earth and you choose to destroy your own bodies with obesity
Thomas Rogers
I see what the problem is. It is all based on the distance from that damn tasty Cajun food.
Jaxon Ortiz
no state under 20%

David Perez
Because they are black.
Liam Rivera
Montana master race.
Andrew Torres
Is this seriously saying that 1 in 3 americans are obese?
How many pounds overweight is the definition of obese? I live in Atlanta, GA and I wouldn't say that 30% of the people I see are obese.. but maybe I consider obese to be this when obesity is really considered to be a lot less overweight than that. IN which case I could accept it because a lot of people in atlanta are very large, especially black people.
Matthew Martin
Next color is black. Nignogs are the ones that contribute to the figures anyway.

Only LA is spic invested. It's like saying Michigan is a nigger state because of Detroit alone.
Adam Reyes
I agree
Henry Evans
Not only this, but it is a low income problem too. More so that they don't get muh educations about nutrition and how it even fucking works.
One time a black friend of mine told me with a straight face that a box full of those super fluffy frosted sugar cookies is just fine in place of a real meal.
Dumb nigs don't know how sugars and calories work. Kek

Honestly, you might as well count us among the Negroes, we're no better.

Brody Roberts
It's not so much a lack of knowledge as it is a childish lack of foresight and impulse control. I know black ladies who watch tv all the time and know all about calories but they're still fat af.
Anthony Hill
Somalian refugees go to Maine and the Twin Cities m8, thank the federal gov't.
Luke Adams
Yeah, they have the fewest niggers. Look up every social pathology by region. Superimpose the nigger population map over the social problems map. The correlation is 100%. If you lived here, you would see the truth. Thanks for your idiotic opinion.
Jonathan Stewart

Logan Walker

Look at the racial categories and it should make sense. But (((they))) don't want to point that out cuz dat raciss, so we all get grouped together when it comes to obesity.

>Phillipines The only faggots psychotic enough to live with us.
Luke Ross
and here's non-hispanic whites only
why are minorities so fat (excl. east asians)?
Blake Powell
Yeah the way people view obese people is different for instance I am 300lbs 6'2" and I can still run maybe not for hours but you get the point and move. I'm obese and I do need to start losing weight that's easier said then done
Blake Bell
They might know about it, but they aren't bright enough to understand it. That is why they continue to be obese, it has been reinforced for their entire lives, making it hard to change if you are dumb or weak willed.
The cure to this is education targeted at the youth, and it had already started working. Look at the trend since mid 2000s, it shows Americans are aware of the issue.
Problem is one big data group can totally fuck up statistics. That is why you don't take statistics at face value, instead look for the argument behind them.
Gavin Price
Are we fatter than Mexico again?
Colton Evans
>More than 65 percent of Michigan residents are either overweight or obese–making the mitten state the 10th fattest in the nation, according to statistics by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
>But just like the nation in general, Michigan’s obesity statistics reveal large gaps among certain groups of people.
>Nearly 80 percent of black women and 75 percent of Hispanic women are overweight or obese compared to 60 percent of white women.
>While roughly 35 percent of white Americans report being physically inactive, more than 50 percent of blacks and Hispanics report a sedentary lifestyle.
Number of reasons user. First is they are more likely to be poor and thus less likely to be able real healthy food and instead buy McDonald's. Also nobody wants to put a grocery store in some ghetto that will burn it next time Daquante gets shot by the police.
Another reason is Hispanics, Asians and Blacks are actually more likely to get fat, diabetes and heart disease on an American/European diet.
Carter Morales

If this graphic showed an obesity scale for females in idaho it would have to show 90-95%. Seriously almost every heifer here is female.

People are just getting fatter. Whats the big deal?
Henry James
>How many pounds overweight is the definition of obese? Look at the chart, it isn't a certain weight because different heights need certain weights to be obese such as a six foot person that is 150 pounds is under weight while someone who is five foot weighing the same would probably be obese.
It goes off of a body mass index of 30 or higher.

I plan on moving out of Yadkinville in a few months and Charlotte seems like the best option without leaving the state
Henry Lopez

Josiah Sanders
The cheap food they eat is full of poisonous chemicals that alters their gut bacteria and doesn't trigger the "full response" from their stomachs. Most can't afford enough calories to be able to buy fresh produce. Obesity is a poverty issue more than anything else.
Jayden Collins
>mfw from Alabama >mfw we can't even come in first for being fat
If it wasn't for college football this state would probably commit mass suicide.
Zachary Hall
If you're 300 lbs at any height you can't run for minutes, much less hours.
Go to a gym and try to run a basic 5k. I guarantee you won't be able to get anywhere close to 30 minutes.
300 lbs is almost double what a normal sized 6'2'' male should weigh.
Connor Bailey
>live in Texas
3/5 obese people are Mexican women. It's gross.
Isaac Gonzalez
This pretty much. Plus, in the South it's worse. We have to hydrate a lot, which means drinking a shitload of Mountain Dew and ice tea, because why drink the terrible quality tap water or pay for bottled water when you can have liquified sugar? Combine that with gravy, fried chicken, fast food, and low income, and it's pretty much impossible for us not to be the most obese region. Also yeah, a lot of black people here.
Jose Stewart
What's stopping you?
You guys don't contribute anything anyway.
