The Biscuit Belt?

 




     

    CBS News posted this map showing the states where McDonalds sells a majority of biscuits instead of McMuffins.....and a companion map from the CDC showing where the greatest incidents of heart disease are. Note Alabama is solid in both.



The overlap in the maps shouldn't really come as a surprise. Southern states have some of the highest obesity rates in the nation. And studies have shown that the so-called "Southern diet," heavy in fried foods and saturated fats, increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney damage and other health problems.
