NEW YORK - The most recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows over seven in 10 U.S. adults aged 20 and older are either overweight or obese. The problem is bigger in some states than in others, though. WalletHub took a closer look in their list of 2022’s Most Overweight & Obese States in America.
West Virginia was ranked the most overweight state, followed by Mississippi and Kentucky. Colorado finished as the least overweight state. Here are the rankings across the tristate area:
Connecticut: 38 overall, 33 in obesity and overweight prevalence, 37 in health consequences and 38 in food and fitness.
New Jersey: 40 overall, 42 in obesity and overweight prevalence, 25 in health consequences and 37 in food and fitness.
New York: 44 overall, 43 in obesity and overweight prevalence, 38 in health consequences and 27 in food and fitness.

My father drinks way too much milk in my opinion too. I think milk is responsible for a lot of autoimmune type reactions. In general, it should be minimalized after 40 (again just my opinion).

I think at the bottom of the normal range is usually too skinny, myself. I opt for the high part of the normal range, and my doctor says that’s fine. Also, I think there’s an age/gender related BMI calculator. I bet you are closer to normal or maybe overweight if you use that. You don’t sound “obese” to me.
