Florida is the 34th obese state in the United States. Colorado is the leanest state of all 51, but Mississippi is the most obese state of them all.
It was Thursday, September 13th, that the 2007 Obesity Report had reported these findings, making an emphasis that Mississippi had been ranked with the highest amount of adult obesity in the nation three times in a row. Out of all 51 states; none faced a decrease in adult or child obesity.
In Mississippi's Breaking News Story, anesthesiologist Dr. John Turner said cardiovascular disease is found to be the highest health problem among its obesity residents, especially within its larger population of African-Americans. The ones who are to be EXTRA careful are women because they tend to take care of others, rather than of themselves, and they believe cancer is their biggest concern. Men have chest, arm, and neck pain as symptoms for a heart attack, but women only show fatigue as their #1 symptom. While cardiovascular disease may be decreasing in men, it is found to be increasing among the women living in the Mississippi Delta.
Exercising and eating just the right portions of food (eating healthy), can lower an individual's obesity problem. Being able to control the intake of food and not allowing the food to control the individual is just one of the obstacles one has to be determined to overcome.

I found this article on obesity and related illnesses, and in Los Angeles fast food restaurants might be banned. What a step forward in the right direction would that be?
