The fattening of America

You’ve got to see this presentation on msn.com. It depicts a map of the United States and shows, from 1986 to the present, how the percentage of obese people changed, state by state, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control.

Folks, this is amazing and horrifying. At the end you can click on any state to see what efforts are being made there to combat obesity.

I keep thinking I’m obesity-obsessed, but the fact that “everybody’s fat” now (OK, slight exaggeration) is not my imagination. The numbers don’t lie.
