South Dakota – 31.9% Obesity Rate
In 2016, around 29.6 percent of those living in South Dakota were obese. Three years later, the number increased to 31.9 percent. This figure meant that it now gets to be part of this unfortunate list of ours. Sadly, the following people tend to suffer from high obesity rates: American Indians, people who only have a GED or a high school diploma, and those earning an annual income of anywhere from $25,000 to $34,999. It is sad to hear that Native American reservations see the highest obesity rates in the nation.

Wisconsin – 32% Obesity Rate
It sounds impossible to stay off this list when your state is known for cheese. This might have something to do with the inclusion of Wisconsin on the list! The good news is that it has a pretty low obesity rate among kids. In the hopes of fighting obesity, the School of Public Health at the University of Wisconsin used zip codes in a study. It is said that certain areas are four times more likely to be overweight!
