A new Gallup-Healthways poll has revealed the most and least obese metro areas in the country, based on the percentage of residents considered obese. The results were interesting but not too surprising. John Rickards, a registered dietitian based in Philadelphia, said that factors for the results could certainly include average income, climate, and the amount of activity one could participate in. Colorado, known for skiing, jogging, and other outdoor exercises, ranks in as the skinniest state.
