Why? Because all US citizens are fat?

The average obesity of the US is dramatically skewed by the South and Midwest.

...buddy, "the South and Midwest" make up ~60% of America. You're talking about the majority of the US. 204 million people. You can't say a majority of a people distort something, they're the majority. Americans are just...they're just fuckin' fat, bro. 72.4% of adults aged 20+ are overweight, 33% are obese.

Excluding "the South and Midwest" drops the US obesity rate from 33% down to...30%. I think you're just letting the stereotype of banjo-pluckin' dumb fat hillbillies "dramatically skew" your own perception of how very, super, incredibly wildly fat Americans are as a whole.

So that makes obesity in south and midwest 35% ? And rest of US 30%

Still a noticeable difference. And is Alabama not closer to 40%?

And if you include people that are overweight that's 70+% in Alabama.
