I have been a huge Derrick Jackson (columnist for the Boston Globe) fan for years. While his topic here is the success that the French have had in battling obesity, there is a note on the svelteness of Mass residents.
@plainoldme,
Which state is the twiggiest state?
@tsarstepan,
I really didn't care because I was so pleased with MA's ranking. I didn't look.
@plainoldme,
I didn't notice it in the article. I wonder if I have to go back to Massachusetts to get in on this healthy eating thing....
@tsarstepan,
It's probably Colorado that's smallest.
@jespah,
yeah, nobody's fat in aspen...

I moved out of Massachusetts a few years ago, which must have improved it's score dramatically

actually there are coloradoans in aspen. (or Vail)
We lived in MA for 8 years and I'd agree with that. I don't think, somehow, that Texas ranks too high in slender people. I'm miserable even being 6, 7 pounds over my ideal fit-in-my-clothes weight, so keep those pounds off.
