Colorado # 1 for non fatties is now 5% above the fattest of fattiesin the original poll
http://blogs.wsj.com/health/2010/06/...-less-than-20/
http://healthyamericans.org/reports/obesity2010/ ( I can't find the stat but Missisippi was the worst state in the early 90s with 14% obese, now the BEST state is 5% above that) Super Size Us.... Take a look at this map. See that blue state in a sea of red and purple hues? It’s Colorado, the only state in the union with an adult obesity rate below 20%. (”Just” 19.1% of its residents are obese.) We’re talking obesity here — defined as a body mass index of 30 or higher, or about 180-plus pounds for a 5′5″ person — not merely overweight (defined as a BMI of between 25 and 30). The annual “F as in Fat” report from the Trust for America’s Health and Robert Wood Johnson Foundation has precious little good news for people concerned about obesity as a public-health problem. (As the NYT wrote yesterday, some people think this concern is “a pointless and hysterical national fuss” and are protesting by purposefully gaining weight — and, of course, blogging about it.) Adult obesity rates rose in 28 states last year, the report says. (For statistical purposes, rates represent a three-year average, so this year is a comparison of 2007-2009 data with 2006-2008 data.) In eight states, more than 30% of the population is obese. Mississippi tops (?) the list, with an adult obesity rate of 33.8%, and the South in general is where rates of obesity and obesity-related diseases such as diabetes are highest. Washington, D.C. actually saw a decline in obesity rates, but no states did the same. Among the other findings: * Adult obesity rates for blacks and Latinos are generally higher than for whites, and in nine states, 40%-plus of blacks are obese. * Obesity and income are correlated — the more you earn, the less likely you are to be obese. * Education levels are also correlated with obesity; the obesity rate among people who didn’t graduate from high school is 33.6%, vs.. 22% for people with a college degree. * In a dozen states, more adults reported getting absolutely no regular physical activity beyond their jobs. * It’s not likely a coincidence that the fattest state, Mississippi, also has the highest rate of physical inactivity in adults. There was a lot of overlap in the most-obese and least-active lists. * Nineteen states saw their adult diabetes rates rise significantly; in West Virginia, Mississippi and Alabama, rates exceed 11%. (Again, there was a lot of overlap with the most-obese list.) You’ll notice we didn’t mention kids; the information on obesity rates among 10-to-17-year-olds isn’t collected as often, and the most recent data were included in last year’s report. |

Dumbass, It's Chung Chart time! http://www.cdc.gov/obesity/data/trends.html (page down and look at the animated chart) http://mingus.as.arizona.edu/~bjw/misc/obesity_vote.gif http://groups.google.com/group/rec.b...68b1e6131451cd I'm in Germany right now. You know the American stereotype of Germans as roly poly Sergeant Schultzes? Guess who is laughing now. Sure there are people who look like that here, but mostly not, even with their diets of German food. Maybe it's because they have such small refrigerators, and markets with fresh food. Every time I come back to the US, I have to re-accustom myself to the wide, expansive fatness of the American landscape. Fredmeister Ben |

Nah! You don't want to know the truth. Bahahahaaaa. |

Nah! You don't want to know the truth. Bahahahaaaa. If I read fifty or a hundred research papers; digested them; and a couple had reliable, specific data; and most of the papers were consistent with one another; then I might see; but I have not done that research, and will not. -- Old Fritz |
