Do you live in Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Michigan, or West Virginia? Congratulations, you're the fattest people in the country!
That's the findings of the CDC and the BRFSS. Over the past 20 years, the waistlines of people in those states have increased 25% or more (the data is from 2004). But people in other states shouldn't feel so superior. Every state has increased in the past 20 years. The only state that didn't was Hawaii, and that's because they don't have any data for Hawaii. But come on, poi donuts and Macademia nuts? I bet they're getting bigger too.
