I've traveled a good bit in WV, and I've always wondered how they are better than us in any ranking. There are some places there (actually a lot of places) that appear to be 20 years behind the rest of the world. And with coal mines shutting down left & right it's only going to get worse for them.

Louisiana took that title from us 3 years ago

I agree. I spent a week at a Company about two hours north of Charleston, WV, and it was depressing. I stayed in Ohio and the little town had a Mothman museum (Point Pleasant). Apparently all the people around there believe in them. It was kind of creepy.

I don't know that we ever had it. Can't remember what they looked at or how they determined it, but some researcher claimed that the Midwestern states were actually fatter than the southeastern states but that they weren't as honest on the self reporting part of the study.

The number of obese hasn't changed in Mississippi. It's still 35%. Arkansas and WV just got worse.

As long as we still hold highest unemployment rate, I'm happy. **
