Nebraska – 34.1% Obesity Rate
Apart from the fact that Nebraska is on the higher end of American rates of obesity, its rate has been rising for several years now. The numbers have risen steadily from 2013 to 2018. Just over a third of today’s population weighs in as obese. As isolated programs calling for lifestyle changes are not doing enough, it seems that significant changes need to be set in place for Nebraska residents.

Nevada – 30.6% Obesity Rate
As with most Americans, broader and broader waists are experienced by those living in Nevada. Unfortunately, the figures are increasing steadily, leading to more cases of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. While obesity policies are being established across the states, it does not seem that they are doing much good for the population just yet. Still, Nevada is one of the few states to require higher nutritional standards for school lunches for children.
