Which States Eat The Most Crap?

[Missourian]

Yes it is
We had to save smokers from their own dumb decisions

That is how we cut smoking down from almost 50 percent of the population to less than 12 percent.
You don’t see many three pack a day smokers anymore

Even their own families don’t want to be around them

That's not our job.

Our job is to run our own lives and make our own decisions.

Not to browbeat others into making decisions we agree with.

This is the problem with liberal.

Can't wait to get into other people's business. Because they "know better".

Now, you ready for the Jujutsu?

Tell the Native American's how stupid they are and how much they suck.

I'll wait.

They also smoke the most

Based on recent data, the states with the highest smoking rates are primarily located in the South and Midwest regions of the United States
.
Specifically, as of 2023, the states with the highest reported smoking rates for adults include:

• West Virginia: around 20%.
• Tennessee: 17%.
• Louisiana: 16%.
• Mississippi: 16%.
• Oklahoma: 16%.
• Arkansas: 15%.
• Missouri: 15%.

West Virginia consistently ranks at the top, with approximately 28.19% of adults reported as smokers

No surprises! It's the least-educated, lowest-income, lowest-longevity states, of course!

[Dragonlady]

Blame liberals because conservatives smoke too much

Can you guys EVER take responsibility for your own actions?

These people don't believe that smoking causes cancer because the cigarette company scientists said it was all "fake news". It's just the government trying to control you. You'll show them!!

hahaha….the racists are out in the wide open…All of the highest ranking states have huge populations of dark people while all the bottom ranking states are white states….hahaha…WHOOPSIE!
You FumbDuckers can’t ever get out of your own way….hahaha

All of the highest ranking states have REPUBLICAN state governments. Even the states with high levels of black and brown people don't have this level of poor nutrition and illness when they have Democrats in office. Red State governments are gerrymandered to keep minorities out of office and whites in control.

 

[BackAgain]

The idiocy rate among Trump voters is through the roof. These people are so stupid, they can be convinced of ANYTHING, including the bilge I quoted above. They consistently blame the poor for being poor despite government labour and tax laws which are designed to enrich the wealthy and subjugate workers.

Poverty isn't "finance by liberal social policies". Poverty is inflicted on these people in red states by state governments which believe workers are stupid and lazy. Their schools are underfinanced and don't provide a good education. The minimum wage is too low,, and they're mostly "right to work" states.

There are no state funded social programs, so they have even less income and resources that blue states provide.

Nobody takes anything you spew seriously, Lizardtwat.

Your idiocy is the gold standard of retardation.

Poverty and lack of education is obviously a problem in these states, but I wonder if the high firearm fatality rate is, in part, attributable to their being fat and making bigger targets.

It's already pretty clear in the OP what an insufferable fucking snob punk you are...No need to pile on more corroboration.

 

[schmidlap]

It is entirely understandable that those who live in the poorest, fattest, least-educated states where they shoot one another most often don't like the comparative data, but it is what it is.

... and, as expected, the social instability in these states results in the highest divorce rates:

That is why Republicans order CDC not to collect that data

 

[rightwinger]

Are we seeing a trend?




Lowest Life Expectancy

1. Mississippi – 74.8 years
2. West Virginia – 74.1 years
3. Louisiana – 75.3 years
4. Alabama – 75.4 years
5. Kentucky – 75.6 years
6. Arkansas – 75.8 years
7. Oklahoma – 75.7 years
8. Tennessee – 76.5 years
9. Indiana – 76.8 years
10. South Carolina – 77.0 years

Empirical data wreaks havoc with ideological dogma.

 

[Missourian]

But jobs pay less in Mississippi than they do in Massachusetts so it all evens.

The difference is that Massachusetts is a far more desirable place to live than Mississippi hence the higher cost of living.

Not to me it ain't. Too many people, too close together. Too many laws, too small of roads.


Mississippi is known for it's hospitality, Massachusetts is known for it's Massholes.

It's SOOO wonderful in Massachusetts, you have to pay truckers a $300 surcharge in addition to tolls just to go there. :

Ok, now find a breakdown of where in those states the most fast food is being consumed. In the cities or in the rural areas?

Hey shithead, did you know that California ranks SECOND-LOWEST in overall state IQ?

And did you also notice that among the ten worst states on fast food, there was only a 0.05% range of variance!

Maybe those states eat slightly more junk food because they are all too poor to eat better due to leftwing policies.

 

[ThisIsMe]

In Mississippi a dollar is worth almost 25% more than it is in Massachusetts.

More disposable income, they can afford to eat out more often.

Check out the surprising correlation...

These Maps Show Where a Dollar Goes Furthest in the U.S.

Every dollar spent is not equal. In some cities like NYC or SF, it will buy you far less - and in other places, a dollar has much more buying power.

Actually, I think it IS the poorer states who eat more fast food. It's generally cheaper now to get a big Mac meal than it is to buy healthy foods to cook at home.


Also, they should compare those statistics to hours worked in each state. I would suspect you'll find more fast food consumption in states where people work a lot more. It's just easier and faster for people with little time

Bic Mac meal is in the $12 range...You can buy a couple at-home healthy meals for that.

How are those fires going? Have you figured out how to use water yet? Or are you waiting to let the fires dispose of the bodies of all those indigenous women your country has disappeared?

It's like you had something to do with the wealth of other states. People built them up way in the past. Wealth can be fleeting though. Notice the manufacturing cities that lost production and how they suffered. many cities transitioned to something else. However, the era of building and rebuilding within their own boundaries is not like it was a century ago or more. The cities need massive infusions of state and federal resources. An example is their mass transit abilities would be cut massively. They took care of themselves at one time. And this is just one example. Teh cities that built their subways, regional rail lines, trolleys and bus lines over a century ago with much cheaper labor exist today somewhat easier. However, massive repairs are needed on much of that and state and federal monies come in for it. City and suburbs have huge intertwining resource organizations and authorities that charge fees to use anything on top of anything taxed. This was much simpler until the mid 1960's or so. Like nation building we went ghetto building. Not good.
