Louisiana has a lot of fat people!!!

According to a recent survey New Orleans and Louisiana has a lot of fat people if you believe the numbers. It is most likely true as people here like to eat and cherish the meals, several of them per day. It could be the food we eat, it could be the fact that most humid places have more fat people. We have a high percentage of African Americans who tend to get overweight due to their diet and health related issues. There may be some cultural reasons as well. No we are not slim but I see an awful lot of people working out on a daily basis. Do You have any ideas?

I was just reading yesterday that Mississippi tops the nation for the highest percentage of people overweight. The study cited the cause for it being a combination of low income and poor nutrition -- foods high in fat and sugar.

Eric - that's a funky statistic....I'm not moving to New Orleans then because I don't want to be fat?  I have no idea why it could be.  My parents lived there for a while and didn't gain any weight.   : )
