Honorable Mention: Virginia – 30.1% Obesity Rate
The sad truth is that Virginia has long been dealing with obesity. In 2015, the state received over $375,000 from the Center for Disease Control to improve access to healthy food and encourage physical activity among the locals. Sadly, these efforts did not bear a lot of fruit. The state might not be in the 25 fattest states in the nation, although its consistently high rate does not bode well for Virginians.
