Obesity and politics

A USA today article points out the ten states with the greatest rates of obesity.  The top ten (actually includes 12 with ties) are with the exception of Michigan at number 5 are all deep red, Republican voting states.  Mississippi is number 1.  These states are also net importers of federal aid.  On the other hand, the least obese states include NY, California and Colorado, which are mostly Democratic voting  and paying more into the Treasury than they receive.  Just sayin.
