By Chris Pleasance America's fattest and thinnest places have been revealed in a new survey which highlights the continuing national obesity crisis. Huntington-Ashland, a metropolitan area which covers parts of Ohio, West Virginia, and Kentucky, has been revealed as the nation's fattest location with 39.5 per cent of adults classed as obese, based on data collected between January 2012 and December 2013. In a separate survey last month, Hutington was also named as the most miserable place in the US, largely thanks to residents' poor health. Boulder, Colorado, scooped the award for thinnest area in the U.S. with just 12.4 per cent of the population tipping the scales as obese.
