Texas Not In Top Ten Fattest States

I was shocked to learn today that something called CalorieLab used something called the CDC's Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System database to determine the 50 states obesity levels, so as to rank them from Fattest to Leanest.

It is not too shocking that states in the West and New England ranked lighter, while the South and the Rust Belt ranked heavier.

Mississippi has been the fattest state for three years in a row. And Texas isn't in the Top Ten. Texas is the 15th Fattest State.

The leanest state is Colorado. Hawaii is the second leanest. My old home of Washington state is getting fat at #32, but not as fat as Oregon at #29. California is the leanest west coast state at #41. I guess Alaska is sort of on the west coast. Alaska is fatter than Texas at #14 fattest.

Washington has gotten fatter since I left the state and Texas has gotten leaner since I've been here. I don't know what to conclude. Maybe I should move to Mississippi, for awhile, and see if that causes the Mississippians weight to go down and Texans to go back up.
