I would have never guessed some were higher or lower.


Now, I know some PARFers will come here and quarrel with the data, e.g. states with high Polish or German popns. will be biased towards heavy leggedness, or bootie factor states will be etc. etc.

But "it is what it is"

I'm sorry, but does that moving POS map actually mean anything? Do you have a point you'd like to make?

It doesn't correlate with the cousin marriage map.

1. There is a pause button that will stop the map from moving.
2. I do not think there is a point, Mr. Webb is just having some fun with us.. This thread is another parody of this thread. Most Heavily Armed States

It would be interesting to note that the standards for "being obese" have changed since the 90s. You would need to correct the data for that, in order to have a meaningful result.

At least in the first link - the year-by-year map of the US, the standard stayed BMI > 30.

I spent those years in CO. They were good years for sitting on the patio near the jogging paths in Denver and Golden. Preferably with some corned beef hash and a bloody...

Part of the problem with our current body positivity culture is this statement from the article:

“He was a young, healthy, hardworking guy,”
