Georgia – 31.6% Obesity Rate

In 2012, Georgia did not do too badly in terms of the obesity rate, but it was still far from acceptable at 28 percent. In only a span of seven years, things got even worse as the figures climbed to 31.6 percent. Maybe they were baking too many pies and cakes with those famous peaches. Kids are not immune to this either. In fact, it is 18th when it comes to obesity levels among kids ten to seventeen years old.

Delaware – 31.8% Obesity Rate

According to the health and human services division of Delaware, only 39.7 percent of its residents are in the recommended range. Around a third of people aged 18 to 25 are considered overweight! The older they are, the likelier they are to be obese. In fact, 56 percent of those aged 25 to 34 are overweight. Even worse, this is true for 68 percent of people who are 45 to 64 years old. Overall, 58.6 percent of the adults in the state are either obese or overweight. That does not sound good at all.
