They are mighty, mighty plump from their bailout.

PEBO.

As someone said, every church social begins with a casserole.

According to whom dear heart, where is the methodology, the sceintific breakdown of percentages?

It's a list by a moron for morons.

According to a database monitored yearly by the centers for disease control and prevention. The CDC compiles 3 year averages using state by state statistics of adult obesity. Again you debunk this data, then make a stupid false claim regarding NY. The fact is the fattest states are also the poorest states(cheap food is unhealthy) The top 10 fattest states happen to largely be in the south. 9 out of the 10 fattest states happen to vote for McCain/Palin, nothing wrong with that. But to question the data while making a claim with no factual backing makes you look moronic.

The South is the Republican base. The South is fatter than the rest of the nation. What's the surprise?

According to that, New York has more overweight people then most of the red states.

Thanks for proving my point for me.

On the one hand, it could be posited that Republicans are poorer and cheaper food tends to be fattier, but many Republicans will tell you that poor people are all democrats living off of welfare...so this raises some interesting questions.

The most highly educated people tend to vote democrat (as do the most poorly educated). Coasts and big cities tend to vote democrat.

There are a couple factors right there that could impact average BMI.
