Kentucky – 34.3% Obesity Rate
What were you expecting from the state we associate with fried chicken right away? In 2018, 37% of its inhabitants were said to be obese. From 2016 to 2017, when it came to the obesity rate in kids and teenagers, the state came in second. The dismal records may have had to do with a lack of nutritious food. One study said that Kentucky was 43rd in terms of safe food availability!

Nothing for the Arkansans beats high-fat, high-protein food products. The state likes communal eating, particularly if it includes meat, fish and chicken. You can already guess that the natural state suffers from that alone, such a high incidence of obesity. Obesity is called the most preventable health concern in the state! Experts claim that many Southern states are on the list because fried food is perceived as a staple of the diet. It also has to do with the unequal distribution in the rural regions of resources within the state.
