I tend to disagree... anyone been to Hawaii? No way they're that low.. outside of the resorts, they're all morbidly obese. But woo for Ohio, still in the top ten.

Ohio used to be the fattest state a few years back. Its good to see its slimming down -- or maybe the other states are outpacing Ohio(!).

Agreed. That is verrrry suspicious. The first thing I look for in a poll or statistical report is the group responsible for the findings. In this case, "a nonprofit public health group." They couldn't even cite the group by name. Probably because nobody has ever heard of them. No credibility worth mentioning. +1 vote of no confidence.

Illinois is #24? How can Indiana be beating Illinois? C'mon now, let's wolf down some more pork tenderloin sandwiches, Chicago-style hot dogs, with a side of fries. And skip the Diet Coke.
this report makes me happy to be from the state of Alabama and be going to a school in Mississippi. I guess i'm going to be double fat when it's all done.

Somebody should match this list up with the Smartest States list that was just on here. MA seems to be one of the smartest, thinnest states around it seems.
49th, but we're 3rd down from the list. Wouldn't that be the 48th...? I don't get why there's 51 states on there, and my head hurts too much to see which one they added twice, or what # they skipped.

District of Columbia gets its own. I was wondering the same thing, too

That's why Massachusets is always getting stuffed into garbage cans or pushed into the girls bathroom.

Ah, so that explains it. Thanks. At least I know I'm not starting to hallucinate because of my headache

Well, I hoe you feel better. I'm goin to a kegger tonight with the b/f, so I'll probably have more than a headache tomorrow.
[quote name='RandyTsai']I watched Super Size Me and i thought he said Texas was the fattest state.[/quote]
I think it normally depends on how they define "fattest". I know in the city poll it includes climate and outdoor activity possibilities. This is part of the reason that Houston is either #1 or close to it every year. I think that "study" is always in Men's Health. Houston is full of fatties, though. Don't blame 'em for not going outside. They have the worst climate in the world down there.
Also, I know in Texas we are probably so fat b/c we have the highest average number of times to eat out in a week in the nation. I think the nat'l average is 4 and we're at 7 or so. It's not at quaint locally owned joints most of the time either. We're talking fatty mass-produced crap like Chilis. I don't notice so many chain restaurants the farther I travel North.
