Georgia – 31.6% Obesity Rate

Georgia did not do too badly in terms of the obesity rate in 2012, but at 28 percent, it was still far from acceptable. Things got even worse in only seven years as the figures rose to 31.6 percent. Maybe with those famous peaches, they were baking too many pies and cakes. Kids are also not immune to this. When it comes to obesity levels among children ten to seventeen years of age, it is 18th.

Delaware – 31.8% Obesity Rate

According to the health and human services division of Delaware, only 39.7 percent of its residents are in the recommended range. Around a third of individuals between the ages of 18 and 25 are considered overweight! The older they are, the more likely they will be to become obese. In fact, of those aged 25 to 34, 56 percent are overweight. Even worse, for 68 percent of individuals aged 45 to 64, this is true. In total, 58.6 percent of the state’s adults are either obese or overweight. That doesn’t work at all sounds good.
