The picture below shows the average Wyoming meal of chicken fried steak, two fried eggs, and plenty of hash browns.

42.Honorable Mention: Maine – 29.1% Obesity Rate
New England’s biggest member suffers from a 29.1% obesity rate, making it the runner-up to the heaviest state in the region at large.
