Do you have a source for this? I wanted to do a blog post on it, but I need a little more details to work with.

http://apps.carleton.edu/MindBodySpirit/lifestyles/assets/US_obesity.jpg

Or, better but less precise:

http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/obesity/trend/maps/

I was using the 2004 data; the 2006 data are even worse. (Mississippi and West Virginia have surpassed 30%.)
