I would guess it's because people in the south do less walking and exercise in general. Take NYC for example, you take a train there (unless you're dumb and drive in) and then you walk around the city.
Walking = exercise = burnt calories= less weight.
On the other hand we have a southern states where it's hot and humid all the time. People in that state are not interested in walking, they drive from one air conditioned place to the next thus no walking and more twinkies instead.
Twinkies + no exercise= extra fat.
I might be wrong but that's how i see it.
