Hold The Gravy On Them Biscuits

'Cause everything is related to politics...I think it would be interesting to map out the correlation between obesity rates and political inclinations this fall. Though, it may have more to due with age than anything else. In the map below on obesity rates nationwide, Colorado ranks the lowest, but this likely has to due with it having one of the youngest populations in the nation.

Tennessee ranked third in the nation for obesity, a position that hasn't changed much in years of measuring the nation's weight problem.

Mississippi has had the highest obesity rate every year in the CDC's annual survey since 2004. But Alabama, Tennessee, West Virginia and Louisiana have clustered near the top of the list, often so close that the difference between their rates and Mississippi's may not be statistically significant.
