America keeps getting fatter…

Sharing is Caring!

More states are fatter than ever, according to new data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

In 2022, a record three states had more than 40 percent of their adults classified as obese — West Virginia, Louisiana and Oklahoma — and 19 states had rates over 35 percent.

Thirty states saw their obesity rates rise last year compared to the same time the year before, including the President’s home state of Delaware, where rates rose by 11 percent, and New York, where they went up by nearly four percent.

For comparison, only two states — West Virginia and Kentucky — had an obesity rate above 40 percent in 2021 while in 2012 — a decade ago — no state had an obesity rate above 35 percent.

The figures prompted CDC experts to say tackling obesity was an ‘urgent priority’, describing it as a ‘disease’ linked to ‘many factors including eating patterns, physical activity levels and sleep routines’.
