Honorable Mention: Wyoming – 28.8% Obesity Rate
All the bison burgers, lamb, elk, sausage gravy, and chicken-fried steak you want can be had in Wyoming. This does not mean, however, that you should! Within the state, 11,500 ranches and farms exist. This might be why 28.8 percent of the state’s individuals are obese. It might look bad, but it’s a bit lower than the national average. It is better off than many other states, although it is not ideal.
