This CDC "Obesity Among U.S. Adults by State and Territory," map shows two distinct views of nutrition. The South and Midwest, where obesity reigns supreme, are sandwiched (pardon the pun) between the West and Northeast, where healthier eating habits are practiced.
The Deep South and West Virginia, home to America's poorest citizens, show a remarkable correlation between poverty and morbid obesity.

The sad reality is, African Americans are 1.5x more likely to be obese. I don't know how you can change it either, because eating habits are learned from the parents. I suppose schools are the only hope?
