Razors Edge ★ Posted September 17, 2018 Share #2 Posted September 17, 2018 Why are there SEVEN listed highest obesity states but only five lowest? I don't like that part of your post. Otherwise, it is a GREAT one! It should read "The seven states with 35% or higher obesity rates" and "The five states with obesity rates below an arbitrary 25%". I think an obesity rate below 10% or even lower would deserve a "green" color. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom IDK, those people irritate me more than anything. It's always about the Russians, or guns and tanks, stuff like that. I think they may have early onset bitch mode or something. I believe they have the straight dope on the alien abductions out there in New Mexico. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris... Posted September 17, 2018 Share #7 Posted September 17, 2018 Obesity is based on BMI, which is bullshit. So there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it is ruder to say these are the most "fat ass" states. And these are the less "fat ass" states. Obesity sounds like it is something folks might to do something about. Fat ass? Not so much.
