It is hard to escape stereotypes, especially when they come with a semblance of truth. There is no way we can deny that the United States of America is suffering from a weight problem. We can attribute its rise to a number of things, but the actual numbers are going to astound you. Do you have any idea which of the 50 states are considered the fattest? Let us take a look at which states are bearing the brunt of this nutritional reality. We hope that you are not going to find your own state on this list!
Here Are The Fattest States Based On The Obesity Rate
Pennsylvania – 31.6% Obesity Rate
Known for its cheese steak shops, this state boasts an obesity rate of 31.6 percent. We have to admit that we are fans of those greasy sandwiches as well, but we do not eat them on the regular. While Pennsylvania is tied with Georgia, it sounds like the children in this state have it worse. We are saying this because the childhood obesity rate in the Keystone State is the 9th highest in the United States!
