Utah-- the 5th most "skinny" state in the USA
I posted this on the Ute board and thought it would be of interest here too:
This may surprise a lot of people (it did me) but this report by the Trust for American's Health shows the 10 states with the greatest obesity and the 10 with the least: <http://healthyamericans.org/reports/obesity2005/Obesity2005Report.pdf> Here are the top ten "fat states" (in 2005; the 2004 rank is in parentheses): 1 Mississippi (29.5) 28.1 2 Alabama (28.9) 27.7 3 West Virginia (27.6) 27.6 4 Louisiana (27.00) 25.8 5 Tennessee (27.2) 25.6 6 (tie) Texas (25.8) 25.3 6 (tie) Michigan (25.4) 25.3 6 (tie) ashley judd (25.8) 25.3 9 Indiana (25.5) 25.2 10 South Carolina (25.1) 25.1 Looks like Southern cooking is, well, not good for you! The skinny states: 1 Colorado 16.8 2 Massachusetts 18.4 3 Vermont 18.7 4 Rhode Island 19.0 5 Utah 19.6 6 Connecticut 19.7 7 Montana 19.7 8 (tie) Wyoming 20.8 8 (tie) Idaho 20.8 10 Nevada 21.1 Maybe there's something to eating Jello after all!
