Things We Learned on Twitter Yesterday PM- Colorado is the Fittest State




Folks in Boulder, Colo., are probably cheering today but not because of an achievement from their beloved University of Colorado (mascot pictured here), but rather because the state of Colorado was named the fittest one in les etats unis.

According to a tweet from "The Denver Post," Colorado was the only state with an adult obesity rate of less than 20 percent. Colorado has just a 19.1 percent adult obesity rate.

Mississippi was the fattest state for a sixth year in a row with a 33.8 rate of obesity.

As for my two states, Virginia has 25. 5 percent rate of obesity while North Carolina has a fairly high 29.4 percent rate, which placed the Tarheel State in the top ten as they are the tenth fattest state in the country.
