From an NBC affiliate?..
Obesity rates are increasing in Maryland. In 2011, Maryland was the 26th fattest state in the country. Now, the state ranks 22.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention projects that obesity rates in the United States and Maryland will increase.
Fast foods remain a culprit. Even Olympian Gabby Douglas, who has a lot on the line when it comes to watching her weight, admitted to a love for Egg McMuffins as she sat next to First Lady Michelle Obama on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
?Gabby, you?re setting me back Gabby,? said Obama, who was on the show to promote ? ironically ? her childhood obesity campaign.
Mississippi beat out Maryland with a obesity rate of 34.9 percent. Colorado fared best with a 20.7 percent rate.
?The general overall trend is that Americans are getting heavier,? said Dr. Peter Liao, Medical Director of Greater Baltimore Medical Center?s Comprehensive Obesity Management Program.
Liao said he isn?t surprised in the least by the report?s findings, especially Maryland?s rate.
?Here in Maryland that?s been the trend even before this report and it doesn?t change anything. It confirms, in fact, so far we have not made any headway on it,? Liao said.
