While there is a ton of eating to be had in the next month, and weight will be gained across the country, which state is the most obese and how does Idaho compare?
Five schools in the Magic Valley will share thousands of dollars to promote healthy eating for their students. The Idaho Dairy Council in partnership with the Fuel Up to Play 60 announced the area schools will get a combined $18,577 in grants
I saw a comment in an article on Only In Your State that Idaho ranked high among states in the US when it comes to obesity. But, when I did some digging, the stats that I found seem to tell an entirely different story.
Childhood obesity is certainly a problem. The percentage of children between 6 and 11 who are obese in the United States has tripled in the last 30 years and now stands at 20 percent.
