We're Floridians, don't act like we don't do that too! We just have a tiny bit more civility than them..lol, and hey! Gator is good!

I would've thought Florida would be lower, but considering the vast amount of vanity that exists around the shore-cities...I guess quite a few of us do care about staying relatively healthy.

The city I live in straddles state lines. I like that I live in Missouri but if I moved 6 blocks west, my (fake) kids would be 20 spots healthier in Kansas!
Hehehe.

Keep in mind that "health" in terms of this study reaches further than just physical/nutritional health.

The study used 10 Indicators: Low-Birthweight Rate, Infant Mortality Rate, Child Mortality Rate, Teen Death Rate, Teen Birth Rate, High School Dropout Rate, Teens Not Working or In School, Underemployed Parents, Children Living in Poverty, and children in Single-parent Families.

These indicators reflect the entire well-being of a child in the areas of health, economic security, educational attainment, behavioral concerns, and social relationships.

The Report

That report is retarded. It makes me sad that I probably paid for part of it.
