Utah kids leading the country regarding weight

Utah children are leading the country when it comes to their weight.

A new report from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation found that the Beehive State has the lowest childhood obesity rate, with just eight-point-seven-percent of children ages 10-to-17 meeting that criteria.

Utah also had the second-lowest obesity rate among high school students, only falling behind Colorado for the top spot.

Mississippi had the highest rate of childhood obesity.
