I mean Nashville is a tiny part of Tennessee. It's a state that's bordered by Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Kentucky, etc.

did you just suggest tennessee is fatter than alabama partly because fat people from alabama leave and go to tennessee, thereby leaving the skinny folks in alabama?  :lol: ok dax


it's not just nashville (i wouldn't consider a metro area of 2M in a state of 7M "a tiny part", though); there are more college students in Tennessee than in SC/LA/AL, and the eastern part of the state is sort of an outdoorsy/hipster mecca. idk, i'm not surprised TN is on the list, but worse than SC/LA/AL? come on

Alabama, the "the south" of the south

Both Mo and Ks have a 35% plus obesity rates. So this whole discussion from the relative low IQ poster angle is hilarious.  12th and 13th nationally and mere tenths (as in a tenth) of a percentage point away from top 10 status.

I don't find being the fattest state in the union funny.   I feel sorry for AL.  I hope they start making better choices both in diet and exercise.

They have a ways to go from my anecdotal experience.

Like invasive surgery needing ways to go

Per our own K-State experts, Kansas pushing towards a 36% plus obesity rate.

Won't be long now.

Given what we know about the racial demographics and the well known obesity and dietary challenges in minority communities, pretty shocking how fat KS-IA-MO are.

Good point dax. Granted there are zero POC at the beaches

I’m probably seeing the fittest the south has to offer

Thank you for your highly anecdotal and micro observational input, cire.

The onslaught of the Corn/Wheat/Rust belt starts this weekend now that schools are getting out.

Imagine having white sandy beaches, awesome seafood and the whole Gulf of Mexico (allegedly) out your backdoor, even at a cheap low rent place, and spending your time gE'ing.

What skinny folks? Is skinny in alabama and mississippi, obese instead of morbidly obese?

Only a total idiot (so you) doesn't understand that dietary and health issues in minority communities are amplified.   So continue to be the simple brained idiot that you are SB.

You suggested part of the reason Tennessee is fatter than Alabama is because Tennessee is close to Alabama

In looking at the obesity rates and demographic numbers, it's likely that NE-IA-MO-KS might be the greatest singular collection of fat white people on the planet.

Yet all still not as fat as Alabama.  Congrats on being the best (at eating and not exercising)

Alabama is a sack of crap but let's be real, there are worse states
Mississippi
Arkansas
North Dakota
South Dakota
Alaska
Montana
Utah
Idaho
West Virginia
Kentucky and South Carolina are on an equally shitty plane, with Florida close behind. Rhode Island, sneakily crap.

https://wallethub.com/edu/best-states-to-live-in/62617
Alabama 41
Kentucky 39
West Virginia 40
Arkansas 45
Mississippi 47
South Carolina 46
Alaska 49

Aside from me somehow missing Oklahoma, I think I nailed this one!

Apparently in Alabama they make the black people live in segregated rural towns.

Alabama only 65% white, yet on the nations most diverse cities list, Alabama's highest rated city is Montgomery at 118th.

Iowa 90% white, highest city on the nations most diverse list, Sioux City at 119th.

The message is clear in Alabama, black people, you can stay here but you need to be in your own shanty towns and we're going to make damn sure they are food deserts, with no banking, and no way to get a drivers license unless you travel to where the white folks live. Sad they are still struggling to shake Jim Crow and Segregation.

Its always good to get perspective from people who live in the Cracker Belt.   Places with virtually no diversity in skin color of any kind/substantial scale.   

I can only imagine the reaction of the typical Iowa Cracker (Iowa:  45th in Ethnic Diversity and one of the slowest growing states in the country) if they woke up one day to discover that every seat of power in their city was held by a black person and that black people dominated the seats of power at the county level as well.   

Next up, MIR explains why he hangs in Iowa "for the good schools".
