So I've been over obesity in Alabama and pretty much beaten the topic wit a stick...a spikey one with twizzlers hanging off it. It seems that no matter how much I do beat it, an answer still cannot be found. It might be that I've been looking that this the wrong way; maybe I shouldn't look at this state, but at the healthy ones.
Now, instead of looking at the wonderful marvels (yes, that was sarcasm) of Alabama, we turn our atention to what has been reported by the Trust for America's Health, TFAH, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, RWJF, to be the two healthiest states in the country. One has the lowest percentage of adult obesity, and the other has the lowest child percentage. These two states are Colorada and Oregan.
What do these two states have that Alabama does not? I'm not sure yet, but I will look into it. As for the link where I got my information, here it is: http://healthyamericans.org/reports/obesity2010/
Godspeed
