The Fat Map Of America From 1985 To 2009
Note: Worthwhile video of the progression from year to year after the jump.
This is a video of the progression of obesity in the US per data gathered from the Center of Disease Control from 1986 to 2009. Granted it takes a few years in the beginning to get data collected for all the states, but once they do, oh boy -- they have to keep introducing new colors to keep up with all the fat! Personally, I blame fast food and microwavable meals. Plus my jeans. "You mean genes?" No, my actual skinny jeans -- I've got a muffin top and it's depressing the shit out of me. I've even got cheesecake crumbs in my bellybutton. Plus lint. And the worst part? I know I'm going to eat it later. F*** I need a tub of ice cream.
Hit the jump for the size 20 sadness.
