South Carolina Ranks Fifth in Obesity

Published by Bane Windlow at 4:38 pm under Health Care, South Carolina

Alright!  We made the top five on a list.  Woohoo!  South Carolina has the fifth highest percentage of fat asses throughout the land with more than 30% of our state’s residence breaking the bathroom scale.  That fact didn’t surprise me at all.  I only have to walk outside to see everyone stomping and waddling around like a herd of bloated hippos.  It’s even more frightening in Wal-Mart.

The south pretty much dominated the fat list and the reason isn’t too hard to figure out. Southern food is not particularly healthy. If we can fry it, we’ll eat it. I also think the heat and humidity plays a role down here and makes everyone a little more lazy than they may be somewhere else.
