Nebraska – 32.8% Obesity Rate
Nebraska, fair enough, is not known for its gastronomy. The locals claim that other than its vast farmlands and corn, many Americans do not know anything about the state. It seems that the government realizes that it has a problem with weight and has tried to resolve it to no avail.
