For the fifth year in a row, Mississippi has been ranked above all others in terms of obesity rates. What's more alarming, at least to me, is to see a graphic representation of the "one in four American adults are obese" statistic. Read a thorough analysis of CalorieLab's findings here. Also, kudos to Colorado, where only one in five people are obese therefore making them the "thinnest state."

Always interesting to see stats! LM
We've been having a conversation about this on facebook also. Well, about Michelle O's new "salad bars for schools" endeavors and whether or not our sedentary lifestyles play as big of a role in our weight as our food choices do. That is more on the childhood obesity front though. Not a lot of folks have faith that kids will choose salad over tater-tots... probably because adults (visible in these stats) choose the tots. Ugh.
