A recent US News report highlights the obesity crisis in America, with West Virginia leading with a 41% obesity rate among adults. States like Arkansas, Mississippi, and Louisiana also rank high, while Colorado boasts the lowest rate at 24.6%. The report notes that obesity is linked to serious health complications and has escalated significantly since 2013. Despite the grim statistics, advances such as social media nutrition tips and new weight loss medications offer some hope for improving public health.
It's a heavy truth to bear. US News has weighed in on America's ever-expanding waistline, ranking the country's most obese states - and the results may leave you reconsidering that greasy burrito.
The findings indicate that - even in the least obese state - more than two out of 10 residents are considered obese, lending credence to the belief that America is fatter than ever.
