Baton Rouge, Louisiana

In 2022, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, which is the third-fattest city in the US, will have an obesity rate of more than 33%. Despite a long history of health issues brought on by being overweight, Baton Rouge has had trouble losing weight.

On the list of America's fattest cities, the city has regrettably moved from position #9 to position #3 over the past three years. Lack of availability to fresh fruits and vegetables is a significant problem for people of Baton Rouge. Of all US cities, this one eats fresh food at the third-lowest rate. Processed food is known to cause weight gain, which helps to explain why Baton Rouge continues to face serious problems.
