Nebraska – 32.8% Obesity Rate
Nebraska, fair enough, is not famous for its cuisine. The locals say that many Americans do not know much about the state other than its vast farmlands and corn. It seems like the government knows that it has a weight problem and, to no avail, has been trying to fix it. Once a bill involving the taxation of candy and soda drinks was discussed by the state government. It never went by. The authorities in Nebraska now hope that serving healthier food in public schools will help improve the situation.
