You just had to know that picture is from a K-Mart.

Pass the fries and let’s have some Cheetos for dessert. Corporate processed toxic shit marketed as food to the ignorant masses with no self control mechanism has done wonders. Mega-corporations make billions poisoning you and then other Mega-corporations sell you drugs to “treat” the poisoning. They wouldn’t possibly stop selling the poison or curing the disease. That would drastically reduce profits.

Adult obesity now exceeds 30% of the population in 20 U.S. states. In 2014, the rates of obesity surpassed 35% in three states — Arkansas (35.9%), West Virginia (35.7%) and Mississippi (35.5%) — 22 states have rates above 30%, 45 states are above 25%, and every state is above 20%. Arkansas has the highest adult obesity rate at 36%, while Colorado has the lowest at 21%, according to an annual report, “The State of Obesity,” released by Trust for America’s Health, a Washington, D.C. health policy group, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to public health. The data show that 23 of 25 states with the highest rates of obesity are in the South and Midwest.

This is a dramatic shift from previous generations. In 1980, no state had a rate above 15%, and in 1991, no state had a rate above 20%. Today, more than 30% of adults, nearly 17% of 2- to 19-year-olds, are obese.

Suck it fat asses. Pennsylvania didn’t make the top ten.

This story is making me hungry.
