fattest and leanest states

Colorado is usually the leanest.

im getting fat and i am an ohioan. I have had a predisposition for being skinny when I was younger, even when I worked at Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken. I ate so much chicken. I might as well drank entire glasses of cheap ass fryer oil. I stayed skinny. Now I am getting fat.

What can I say, I eat like an Ohioan.

 

The swath from the Great Lakes down to the Gulf Coast appears to be the worst for obesity. The Midwest seems to like richer foods like dairy and deep-fried. It's a regional cultural thing, I suppose.

Colorado is curious. I assume their leanness may have something to do with the outdoor lifestyle. Maybe they just eat of lot of the lean Post breakfast cereals that John Denver used to promote. Heh heh.

Colorado may lose it's top spot:

not only that, its a portion thing. I can rarely finish anything I get from anywhere around here.

 

The marketing campaigns are often based on the eating preferences of geographic regions, which tends to reinforce the traditional eating habits. It's doubtful one would see many ads for the lean McDonald's grilled chicken sandwich in the swath from the Lakes down to the Gulf. But, non-stop commercials for the bacon-cheese Angus are expected to be common in that region.

ive seen commercials for McD's grilled chicken and their salad shakers and stuff. But Wendy's Baconater commercials probably play three times as often.

 

We're always number one in the worst categories.

 

we're still number one in media. if that even counts

 

We seem to be doing pretty good here in New England; probably the result of a heavy diet of seafood along with an educated populace that understands the importance of good health and exercise

I mean this in the nicest way, but I am amazed at that list

I know that people in Florida are fat first hand, and thought they would be at the top- they are thirty ninth!

I dread to think how fat some people are in Mississippi

 

The Mississippi State House is proposing a law that would ban restaurants from serving fat people



(AP) The Mississippi law would ban restaurants from serving people with a BMI higher than 30. On one hand, of course, you could say that's no worse than laws preventing bartenders from serving another shot of whiskey to that guy who just chipped a tooth falling off his stool. On the other hand, of course, an obese person is not going to use the opportunity afforded by an unnecessary plate of chicken and dumplings to pinch the ass of the waitress, puke in the bathroom sink, take a piss next to your dumpster and ram into an oncoming car on the way home, so there's really not much of a comparison.

Note: Finland, Germany, Greece, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Malta all have a higher proportion of overweight adults than the United States, according to a report by the International Obesity Task Force

Finland.???.I Very Much Doubt It....

I Mean, Has Anybody Ever Seen A "Fat Fin".....??



Cheers Glen.

 

I admit in the past obesity was unheard of in finland but with processed convenience foods replacing their traditional diet; even finlandians have succumb to the curse of momma cass elliot

Tell Me It Isn't So.... A Macca's In Finland....??.....



Cheers Glen.

 

That's hilarious. How exactly would they enforce that? Scales at the door with an alarm like the airport metal detectors?

"Sorry, Sir, I think you're too fat. You can't have fries with that. And don't even THINK about the apple pie.."

 

I think the alarm idea is a good one and it will embarrass the offender to the point to where he or she will finally acknowledge they have a problem

Apparently the Finnish are finished.

 

the link isnt working for me
i do expect southern states to be at the lower end...and new england and the far west to be closer to the top..but who the fuck knows
