14. North Dakota
North Dakota has joined the ranks of states with obesity rates exceeding 35%. Harsh winters limit outdoor activity, while many residents rely on calorie-dense comfort foods. Rural communities face additional challenges in accessing fresh produce and preventive healthcare. As a result, chronic diseases like diabetes, heart conditions, and high blood pressure are widespread. Despite being a state with agricultural resources, affordability and access to healthy eating remain significant barriers for many households.
