Louisiana Is The Second “Fattest” State In The Country

It seems our regional diet of heavy roux-laden dishes, rich sauces, and salt is doing us a disservice. According to a recent survey from WalletHub, Louisiana is the second "fattest" state in the country.

WalletHub used statistics such as percentage of adults and children who are overweight and obese, physical activity (or lack thereof), and how many servings of fruits and vegetables are eaten per day to calculate a score. The higher the score, the fatter the state; we as Louisianians barely held the number two spot (thanks Mississippi).
