"And to think that their weights would be even higher if the average Mississippian still retained all of his or her teeth."

Young Man

Michael Westmont,

"It's also the biggest-boned, but you never hear about that survey."

Black Man

Brad Kordich,
Liaison Engineer
"This isn't over, Mississippi. The Wisconsin State Fair is right around the corner."
