Obese America

I have several blogs I read daily (or as often as they have new posts). I keep track of them all with the handy Google Reader. One of these is the Blog of Stowers by one of my friends. I liked something she posted there today so I'm also sharing it here as well. Hmm, I don't currently see it on her blog but I swear I saw it there earlier.

On the map above you can see 2006 rates of obesity across the U.S. Go here to see a slide show of the changes since 1985.

This is really scary... I emailed the link of the slide show to my address book... very eye-opening!

thanks for sharing!

Yeah, it is shocking. I lived in Europe for 4 years and when we visited family (in Houston, a town that's fatter than average) we were always amazed at the size of everything--not just the pickup trucks but the people. It's not quite as extreme here in NY state, though.
