According to a new report from the Trust for America's Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Georgia residents definitely like their food.

Georgia ranked 14th in a nationwide report of adult obesity. Not to be outdone, eight of the Top 10 were in the South.

In the study, “F as in Fat: How Obesity Policies Are Failing in America 2009”, nearly 28 percent of Georgia's adult population resided in the obese range.

Even more alarming, Georgia ranked worse in the rate of obese children ages 10-17, placing third with 37.3 percent.

According to the study, factors, including economic conditions that may result in higher food prices and added levels of depression and stress, contributed to the problems when it came to obesity.
