Here is a map I found at the CDC website:

But hardly anybody lives in that blue rectangle in the middle - is it because they don't have any donut shops?

Thea rticle shows a picture of 1991 map compared to average 2004-2006 map and there is a really big difference. They are measuring BMI, Body Mass Index, over 30 is obese.

Quote:

WASHINGTON (AP) — Loosen the belt buckle another notch America: Obesity rates continued their climb in 31 states last year.

No state showed a decline.
Mississippi became the first state to crack the 30% barrier for adults considered to be obese. West Virginia and Alabama were just behind, according to the Trust for America's Health, a research group that focuses on disease prevention.

Colorado continued its reign as the leanest state in the nation with an obesity rate projected at 17.6%.

This year's report, for the first time, looked at rates of overweight children ages 10 to 17. The District of Columbia had the highest percentage — 22.8%. Utah had the lowest — 8.5%.

It's the stories you read about super big coffins or people needing to buy two ariline seats. Any anecdotes dudes? I don't live in the good ole USA anymore. The problem is normal is always changing so you don'T get surprised. say I was to catch a trip on a plane ot NYC or LA today or to Texas, what would I see after another ten years away? I bet PO and GDII will save these peoples' lives.

Wow,

If any state in the country had over 30% of it's population with Aids, cancer, the flu.... there would a huge outcry but other then a million infomercials and "magic" pills you see very little coverage of this fact.

Sad

The planes can't actually take off due to the weight of the passengers, so they taxi along the interstate highways from city to city.

The problem is...

Problem? No...
America has vast untapped oil deposits trapped in the bodies of their land whales. An eco-friendly approach to the extraction of this natural resource could come in the form of solar powered rendering plants. One would simply need to insert the ambulatory oil depots into the center of a parabolic dish and allow clean, all-natural solar heat to drive the process. The oil that runs off would go to proudly power our energy-hungry hummering burbilicious crowds. The nostalgia invoked by returning to whale oil strikes a deep chord within us all as well. One day people will say that it wasn't an obesity crisis, it was an obesity opportunity.
