The thinnest American states now are FATTER than the fattest American states in 1991!
![]()
In 1991, a handful of states in America had less than a 10% obesity rate, a majority of states had a 10%-20% rate, and no state had more than a 20% obesity rate. Now, only about 2 decade later; no state has less than a 10% obesity rate! In fact, a majority of states have a 25%-30% obesity rate! Statistically, Colorado is the thinnest state with a 19.1% obesity rate-which means that it is as fat or and maybe even fatter than the fattest American states in 1991!
The fattest state is Mississippi with an obesity rate of 33.8%! It’s not only the obesity rate either; the cancer rate and health care costs have also sky-rocketed. And it’s safe to assume that they all have something to do with one another. These once-unimaginable statistics are being blamed on processed foods, cars, and of course, the Internet.
