Here are the 14 most fast-food filled states

America  seems to be making an effort to no longer be the junk food mecca of the world. The shares of Dunkin’ Brands (DNKN), which owns Dunkin’ Donuts and Baskin-Robbins, “went down nearly 8 percent this year,” according to CBS MoneyWatch. This year, McDonald’s (MCD) shares have dropped more than 5 percent and Coca-Cola (KO) “saw 14 percent less profit in its recent quarter as global soda sales remain flat.” But even so, there are parts of the country that still hang on to the hamburger and fries-worshiping days of the past.

FindTheBest crunched the numbers to see where one can find the most fast-food restaurants in the country. The company calculated the number of fast-food restaurants (not including pizza) per 10,000 people and ranked each state.
