I live in the forty-seventh most obese state. Out of fifty. Feeling pretty good about that. Only Colorado, Connecticut, and Hawaii scored thinner than Massachusetts. Not feeling any more of an urge to visit Mississippi than I ever have, which is, um, zero.
No desire to visit Mississippi ever. Nope. (I love spelling it out loud, though).

I thought WA would rate better than it did, in spite of some of the people I see around. Yikes. I think the Seattle area would rate very skinny, but the rest of the state isn't so great.

CalorieLab needs a new cartographer. One who would use better range of colors. Was 22% some sort of good/bad cut off point?

Yay Connecticut....although I'm trying really hard not to work our way up the list. :/

All the states in which I have lived have a lot of obese people.

I think it's weird that Florida is so much thinner than the rest of the south. I guess it's all those retirees from New Hampshire!

My husband is on a business trip in Mississippi. Do you think I'll recognize him when he gets back?
