So where does your state rank in the national obesity chart?

36th, not so bad.

Mostly its splitting hairs in the rankings; bottom line, in about 90% of the states 1/4 to 2/3rds are fat. I know I'm doing my part.

I was thinking pretty much the same thing, Dave.

However, let's not make it worse than it really is...more like 1/4 to 1/3 (not 2/3) in most states are fat.

Of course, 32% is 1/3rd. Senior moment. Typo.

Ugh, so that means that the chances of sitting next to a hugely 'larger person' on an airplane are higher than I thought. Mebe the airlines should create a separate passenger class section for fat people! ������������

At 5' 5" @ 148lbs I'm at the upper limits of being "Normal" according the the Body Mass Index (<25 = normal >25<30 = overweight, >30 = obese). I can't imagine me weighing 180lbs to make the "obese" rating.

Massachusetts ranks 49th
Easy enough to explain...... We pay so much in taxes we can't afford to eat.
