The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reports the number of states with lots of fat people has nearly doubled since 2018.
Four more states have been added to CDC's obesity list since the Covid shutdowns.
Scientists say extreme obesity is a major risk factor for Covid-19.
According to CDC's stats, Asian-Americans are generally not fat. No state had an obesity prevalence at or above 25% among Asians.
The fattest, measured by race, which is how CDC categorizes the statistics, are Blacks. CDC says that 35 states and the District of Columbia have an obesity prevalence at or above 35% among Blacks.
CDC's fat map. Dark red from Texas thru Michigan is most obese. Next in line on the fat train are Hispanic residents. CDC says 22 states have an obesity prevalence at or above 35% among Hispanics.
And 7 states had an obesity prevalence at or above 35% among White residents.
The sixteen states that have the highest adult obesity prevalence are:
Alabama Arkansas Delaware (new this year) Indiana Iowa (new this year) Kansas Kentucky Louisiana Michigan Mississippi Ohio (new this year) Oklahoma South Carolina Tennessee Texas (new this year) West Virginia
Not that it matters, but all of the states on the list except Delaware and Michigan went in the Trump column in the 2020 presidential election.

There are a lot of posts blaming carbohydrates for obesity.
The main change in the American diet is higher consumption of omega 6 fats.
Seed oils are the ingredients highest in omega 6 fats. People started using them in the 20th century. The percentage of fats in people’s bodies that is omega 6 fats keeps increasing.
People use less coconut oil and tallow to cook and more canada oil, soybean oil, and corn oil. That’s why people are fat.
People consume a lot of foods with added vitamin a. Foods have more vitamin a than they need.

It’s possible the ‘obese’ factor in COVID is really a ‘black’ factor...
I know that.
Probably the single most effective measure the government could take to increase the overall health in America is end sugar subsidies. Second most efective mesure is not allow EBT cards to be used to buy candy, snacks, soft drinks, liquor & beer - only Vegetables, meats, milk & fruit.
Of course hard to impossible to do - very powerful lobbies would oppose !

Mostly because they’re not working.
Those coming here from S. American countries are vastly overweight. ...and Latinos too are often overweight.
Those who are fat know well that they are and why. So do the teens today who have jelly bellies and muffin tops galore.
Sorry Cosmo....but fat is not pretty. Pretending it is is self-deception.
EBT cards are designed to accommodate big eaters....thus obesity reins.
agree ...big eaters & eaters of the wrong things !
I was at an ice cream shop across from two obese women who could barely get their bodies into the seats. I ordered a small Sunday....they both had huge banana splits. Therein is the difference.
Then when they develop obesity related diseases they’ll go the doctor and demand he do something !
Well it’s pretty obvious that covid enjoys it’s range load of attack on fat people.
Interesting fat map!
“I remember when I was in high school, few high school kids were overweight. Most of us were string beans.”
The same here.
Before my 20th High School class reunion, every over weight person was dead. Cardiac problems or diabetics or both.
A two year younger sibling, an 80 year old, used to go back to reunions for motivation to stay trim, (she still weighs her senior high weight).
