Have you ever been so hungry you get angry?  You’ve had ‘hanger’ and you’re not alone.

A new study determined the Hangriest state by looking at the number of fast-food joints and Walmarts per capita in each state . . . the work break laws in each location . . . the percent of adults with diabetes . . . and the number of searches for the word “hanger.”

The basic idea is that the easier it is to satisfy your hunger, the less hangry you’ll become.

In the end, the hangriest state is Maine, followed by Mississippi, Alaska, Vermont, South Dakota, Idaho, West Virginia, Oregon, Montana, and Rhode Island.

The LEAST hangry state is Illinois.  Virginia came in at #31.

So maybe pack some snacks the next time you’re heading out somewhere just in case you get angry?
