How Fat is Montana?
It may be a sensitive subject, bet here's the good news. Montana isn't the fattest state in the country.

According to cbsnews.com, Montana is 48th on the list of "Fattest States in America." Montana has an obesity rate of 23.6 %, and was one of only four states that saw a decrease in obesity between 2014 and 2015.
The reason for such a low obesity rate is most likely that Montanans spend a lot of time outside. Whether it's working out in the field or going for a hike, Montanans typically remain active in one way or another.
