Honorable Mention: Virginia – 30.1% Obesity Rate
The sad truth is that obesity has long been dealt with in Virginia. In 2015, the Center for Disease Control received over $375,000 from the state to improve access to healthy food and encourage locals’ physical activity. These efforts, sadly, did not bear much fruit. The state may not be in the 25 fattest states in the country, but for Virginians, its consistently high rate does not bode well.

Honorable Mention: Rhode Island – 30% Obesity Rate
Rhode Island may not be an actual island, but it still has good seafood! Just a head up, most of them are fried and bruised. If you see plates of fried calamari, fish, and oysters stacked high, we’re sure you won’t! You would be smart, however to keep an eye on the calories that you are eating. The World Population Review said that thirty percent of Rhode Islanders suffer from obesity.
