Anyway, it struck me as strange that I've read over and over for years how obese Hawaii is and now it's the LEAST obese.
And the article I linked to said that 50% of the entire population there are obese.
And that makes them the LEAST obese state?

Doesn't sound good for the rest of us does it? lol
Dude, 'Oriental' is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian-American, please.
