What Colorado hummus? I live here and the only hummus I’ve seen is not from Colorado - it’s a Greek food. Colorado food would be characterized as game food (elk, bison, etc) and, of course, beer.

“Looks like the correlation would be between fattest states and educational attainment by state.”

As usual, race needs to be factored in.

I’m guessing that with all the medical marjiuana shops popping up in Colorada that the munchies will kick in and the state populace will get a wee bit pot bellied.

America is the only country in the world where the poor people are fat and the rich people are thin.

I’m OK with multitasking, unless the second “task” is sipping tequila.

I live in Mississippi, if you go to the grocery around the 6th or 7th of the month you would see the correlation between heavy people and entitlements.People with two carts full of meat and pay with an ETB card
