below is a map of the US that shows the % of the adult population of each state that is obese.
first of all, goddamn. i don't think this is what anyone had in mind when they called america "the land of plenty". plenty of ridiculously fat walruses (walrii?)? plenty of cheeseburgers? plenty of sitting on the couch and watching your ass spread?
very sad that the "thinnest" state, colorado, still has 1 in 5 people that are obese.
the 2nd thing i noticed and find funny is that the fattest areas are in a spot that is known as the bible belt. this seems counterintuitive. aren't two of the deadly sins gluttony and sloth? deadly sins, folks! your own bloated ass can get your ticket punched straight to H-E-double hockey sticks. put down the chili cheese frito pie and slap the bible on a treadmill.
but you have to give mississippi a break. it's not like those people know how to read. "dick and jane go to the farm" is too much for them, do you think they're going to read a nutritional label on their moon pies?
