In 2015, the Center for Disease Control received over $375,000 from the state to improve access to healthy food and encourage locals’ physical activity. Unfortunately, these endeavors did not bear much fruit. The state may not be in the nation’s 25 fattest states, although its consistently high rate does not bode well for Virginians.
