It seems like every week or so, some national website in search of backlinks releases a patchwork "study" that rudely reminds everyone how fat, dumb and lazy Oklahomans are.
Last week was no different.
Via The Oklahoman:
Oklahoma ranks ahead of Alabama in one poll at least.
The Sooner State is No. 3 in the nation when it comes to the most obese, according to a survey by ConsumerProtect.com
The survey says 36.5% of Oklahoma’s adult population struggles with obesity, compared to the national average of 30.1%.
ConsumerProtect.com looked at Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data on obesity, exercise and healthy eating habits.
On the topic of trimming fat, I'd like to point out it took two Oklahoman writers to patch together those 150 words of clickbait. And we wonder why journalism is failing.
