Pa., N.J. Are Fat, But You Should See The Other Guy

Break out the standard stock footage of fat people's jiggling bellies and giant calves, some study or magazine or something released a list of "fattest states."

Although Philly was at one time America's fattest city, we've gotten better in recent years in that pointless Men's Health ranking, apparently. And in a report released by "an obesity watchdog group," Pennsylvania and New Jersey are fat, but not as fat as some people. Nearly one in four adults in Pennsylvania are "obese," and 13 percent of kids.

Colorado is leanest with a 17 percent obesity rate, while 30 percent of Mississippi residents are fat, most of them from drinking whole kegs of beer and eating entire pigs while tailgaiting at college football games or something. Oh, and overall poor people were the fattest, because the rich in this country can afford gastric bypass surgery, or don't eat Wendy's 10 times a week.
