'F as in Fat' as in America
The number of obese Americans just keeps rising, with obesity rates now topping 30% in 12 states. Four years ago, only one state could make that claim.

Mississippi topped the scales with an adult obesity rate of 34.4%; Colorado's obesity rate was the lowest. A relatively small percentage of its residents, 19.8%, could be labeled obese.
