Honorable Mention: Wyoming – 28.8% Obesity Rate
Wyoming might offer a food selection: bison burgers, chicken-fried steak, elk, lamb, and sausage gravy. However, it didn’t mean that the residents could eat whatever they wanted. There were 11,500 ranches and farms within Wyoming, and that might be why there were 28.8% obese residents. It might seem terrible at first glance, but it was lower than the national average upon realization. Wyoming fared better than the other states.
