I was kind of surprised to see that ‘New Hampshire‘ made the TOP 10 — albeit at #10. I knew that we are NOT a healthy state (with obesity rampant), but it never occured to me that we would be this bad.

THEN it occurred to me. I am probably to BLAME! Exclude me and New Hampshire probably drop to #20. SORRY. Can’t help it. It is my (cheap) jeans. SMILE.

Hang on, hang on. Didn’t we see a report, in August, that had New Hampshire as the 8th HEALTHIEST State? Ah? Can’t be both. #8 healthiest & #10 unhealthiest when there are 50 States. Damn statistics. Statistics lie. Check it out.

I am only reporting what I see & what I remember. At least I remembered about the earlier post. You look it up.

In the meantime I need to do my part in getting NH more healthy.

New Hampshire, my home state, is #8 in this study. WOW. I would never have thought we would do that well. If this is indeed the case, so many of the other states are in desperate straights. I am shocked, daily, by how unhealthy so many people around here are. Obesity is endemic. I won’t even mention the teeth. << SMILE >>

That ‘Arizona’ comes in at #19, just below ‘Maine‘ surprised me. But, I got to thinking. AZ has become a favored destination for retirees. That obviously sways the balance though, incredibly, ‘Florida’ comes in at #14.

Interesting map. Worth spending a few minutes studying it.
