Docs point to our seeming "culture of physical activity" as a reason we have fewer obese residents than any other state in the union.

Americans are continuing to get fatter and fatter, with obesity rates reaching 30 percent or more in 9 states last year, as opposed to only 3 states in 2007, health officials reported on Tuesday.

Jumping from 3 states to 9 states in 3 years!!
