Honorable Mention: Wyoming – 28.8% Obesity Rate
In Wyoming, you can have all the bison burgers, lamb, elk, sausage gravy, and chicken-fried steak that you want. But this does not mean that you should! There are 11,500 ranches and farms within the state. This could be why 28.8 percent of the people in the state are obese. It might look bad, but this is actually a bit lower than the national average. While it is not ideal, it is better off than many other states.
