Texas has 13th highest rate of obesity in U.S., study says

Jason Roberson reports:
Trust for America's Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, two nonprofit health research groups, said the state's adult obesity rate is 29 percent.


Their report, "F as in Fat: How Obesity Threatens America's Future 2010," shows regional and income disparities in the obesity epidemic. It says 10 out of the 11 states with the highest rates of obesity were in the South, with Mississippi's 33.8 percent obesity rate leading the way. Colorado, at 19 percent, had the lowest obesity rate.
