    I like that locally here in Revelstoke BC, I rarely see an obese person. Oh sure some could lose 10 or 20 pounds, but truly obese is maybe 1 in 500.

    That's fascinating stuff Chinatown, thanks for sharing. As a Southerner I'm really surprised then top 10 aren't all SE states.

    Now, look at the percentages. The no. 1 state is 38.1% and the 51st (best) is still 22.6%!!!! This shouldn't be comforting to anyone. The supposed healthiest state in the US is still 1/5 obese? I wish I could see these numbers for 30 years ago.
