Dr. Tuckson says every American must reverse the fact that 25-percent of U.S. adults are now obese. The United Health Foundation report lists Mississippi and Louisiana as the least healthiest states because so many people there are obese and have diabetes. Vermont is tops on the list, followed by Hawaii, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Minnesota.
