A fun enough graph, but the story is simple here … every where has 30-40% obesity. Fighting over which states have higher rates, by a few percent, would be missing the forest for the trees.
Colorado, California, and Hawaii: "Am i a joke to you?"
I mean that’s mostly to my point … 25, 29, and 27% … are not much better than 30%!
Yeah fair enough. Im just being a stinker
All good friend!
