Two states that I've known and lived in were in the top 25 of the fattest in the United States.
In accepting this award, I'd like to thank the academy, my mom, my dad, those wonderful Krispy Kreme donuts. . .
In the study (Yes, it's ANOTHER study on fat people) Virginia and Pennsylvania tied for number 23 out of the states with the highest rate of adult obsesity.
(Yeah!!! Where is Lil Jon when you need him?)
So, it looks like all those years of eathing faschnats and Virginia hams (and bacon, you can't forget the Smithfield bacon) is finally catching up with us.
Here's the Washington Post story on the study, with a link to the state listing, so you can see how your state measures up:
