And the UK is right on par with the US.

@Graylight Yeah, but people in the South are fatter than those in the North. If states like Mississippi or Arkansas were compared, they would give Samoa and Cook Island a run for their money.

That is also wide-spread here in Kentucky.

@RocktheHouse Point there. It's easy to think the obesity rate is 70% around here.
