"While Utah remains one of the least fattest states in the country, people here are still gaining weight.
"Obesity rates in the Beehive State have nearly doubled in the past 15 years, going from just 12 percent of the population to 23.4 percent of Utahns now classified as obese, according to a report released Thursday by Trust for America's Health, a nonprofit national health advocacy group. Coupled with individuals who are overweight, the rate climbs to 57.9 percent in Utah."
