12th Healthiest State and Getting Fatter All the Time

According to the recently released "F as in Fat" report, almost 25% of Washington residents are obese. However, according to another recently released study, we are also the 12th healthiest state in the nation overall. Despite 24.5% of the state's population being considered obese, Washington is only the 32nd most obese state in the country. Surprising no one, Mississippi is the most overweight state in the country (can you say fried everything?) and Colorado is the trimmest. The dueling reports make us want to go for a jog, with a stop at Ezell's on the route home.
