America: You're still fat

The new fat maps of America are out and we're as chubby as ever. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, every state had an adult obesity rate of at least 20%. The slimmest was Colorado, where 20.2% of people were obese, and the fattest was Louisiana, with 36.2%.

The numbers come from the CDC's Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, an ongoing phone survey that asks people in the U.S.

and three territories about a variety of health measures, including height and weight. Although a trend analysis is in the works, the CDC did break down the rates by race and ethnicity. Overall, obesity was highest among blacks at 38.1%, then Hispanics with 31.9% and whites at 27.6%.

Although as a nation we're still pretty fat, researchers found reason to be hopeful. "Four states showed modest declines," noted Capt. Heidi Blanck, chief of Obesity Prevention and Control. "We're cautiously optimistic," she told the Daily News. So here's to you, Minnesota, Montana, New York and Ohio! Keep dieting, everyone else!
