State facts from Wikipedia

Mississippi is a U.S. state located in the Deep South of the United States. Jackson, Mississippi is the state capital and largest city. The state's name comes from the Mississippi River, which flows along its western boundary, and takes its name from the Anishinaabe language word 'misi-ziibi' ("Great River"). The state is heavily forested outside of the Mississippi Delta area. Its catfish aquaculture farms produce the majority of farm-raised catfish consumed in the United States. The state symbol is the Magnolia grandiflora tree.In most recent evaluations, 3% of people in Mississippi have consulted a doctor about having plastic surgery done for Botox.

For three years in a row, more than 30 percent of Mississippi's residents have been classified as obese. The state's pronounced poverty leads to poor nutrition habits. These are affected by the increase in costs for fresh produce while prices of high calorie, high fat foods have fallen. Many of the poorest residents rely on small convenience stores where all foods are pre-packed. Additional risk factors were that most schools had no physical education curriculum and nutrition education is not emphasized. Previous intervention strategies may have been largely ineffective due to not being culturally sensitive or practical. A 2006 survey found nearly 95 percent of Mississippi adults considered childhood obesity to be a serious problem.
