Southerners, poor have highest rates of obesity - USATODAY.com

The South still has the highest percentage of people who are too heavy. Nine of the 10 states with the highest obesity rates are in the South, the report says.

Mississippi continues to be the state with the highest level of obesity at 34.4%; Colorado has the lowest rate at 19.8%

The South may be the hardest hit by obesity because of high rates of poverty and a traditional diet that is unhealthy, Levi says.

That's because they can't afford the healthy foods.

Southerners also eat more fried foods.

Every time I've eaten in the south, except Florida which probably shouldn't count, the food was great. You wanna eat lousy restaurant food?...unless you spend a million bucks?...just come to California. The only places that have good food are Thai and Indian places.

I actualy found Houston to be the best in the country for food. Maybe it's just my love of steak houses...

Time to loosen the buckle on the Bible Belt.

Of course Conservatives will spin this to say the poor aren't starving in America, they're fat.

Pass the pecan pie, please.
