37.Honorable Mention: Rhode Island – 30% Obesity Rate
Many people hilariously mistake Rhode Island for being a real island, much to its population’s irritation. What Rhode Island does have, however, is a mouthwatering selection of seafood! If you love traditional “fish and chips” like the English do, with a thick and crispy batter, then Rhode Island is the place to be. This penchant for deep-fried seafood has resulted in – according to The World Population Review – a 30% obesity rate for Rhode Island. We love this dedication to data, even if it yields little in the way of changes in America’s most obese states.

36.Minnesota – 30.1% Obesity Rate
Minnesota may have capped its obesity rate between 2018 and 2019, but now it is time to begin reversing the effects of its 30.1% obesity rate. This means that nearly one-third of all Minnesotans suffer from obesity. We do need to commend Minnesota for remaining underneath the national obesity average, however, and for being a leader in the field compared to its neighboring states. The three Dakota states all suffer from an obesity rate that exceeds 33%.
