I'm in #42, overall. #49 for the least amount of change. #41 for smoking.
I can't believe we haven't made the list for the most obese! I'm gonna rectify that this Turkey day!

47. Only 3 states worse than this one? Yikes...I knew this place sucked...I figured we would be in the obesity list too, but not this time. More lardbuckets around here than anywhere I've ever been...

39th by whatever criteria they used.
One trip to Wal-Mart on a Saturday will tell you they were wrong about obesity.

Hmmm, Cali is 23rd. I am surprised yet not surprised this state was so low on the ranks. Californians like to pride themselves on healthy lifestyles.What's interesting about Mississippi is they are at the bottom of the health totem pole. I would wager that the majority of this state has government health care, if you know what I mean? Instead of looking at other countires where everyone has health care...let's look in our own back yard. I avoid political topics but this is something to ponder.

42nd?? I almost dropped my cigarette and happy meal (with chick nuggets)!
