[Veritas]

They're so broke they can't buy Twinkies? I dunno. :)

[MrJimBeam]

I might have pushed us to 50 with that Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese and a 6 pack of Busch I destroyed last night.

[SteelClip49]

if Kerry Murdoch, Sam Mayes and Jim Traber left the state....we would be in the top 10 healthiest :)

Kansas 24th???? All of a sudden Mangino is healthy???

Is Kerry Murdoch a big guy?

[SteelClip49]

not huge but he is getting there

[soonerhubs]

hell yeah.

LOL. So SLC, when we moved back to Oklahoma we noticed quite the disparity in hospital food as well, albeit, the hospital was Cushing. We knew there was a difference when heart patients here were served fried foods. That kind of stuff in an IHC hospital was a big no-no.

Also, I found it amusing how the demand for bottle water is dwarfed by pop demand. This is based on my own observations that water was always pricier in Utah, and I just assumed it was a supply demand phenomenon.

Caveat: I know this is anecdotal, but I wonder if there are some underlying trends.

[C&CDean]

No way in hell Iowa is #14. All they eat is meat, taters and corn. The womens are huge. Well except for one that I know of.

It sounds like you lived in Utah. As you know, the state has a heavy Mormon population, who as a rule, don't drink, don't drink caffine (cokes and coffee) and don't fool around. Mormons lead a long healthy life. Or as the saying, goes, "early to bed, early to rise, makes you healthy, weathly and boring.":D

Dean, the difference between women in Iowa and women in Nebraska, is that in Iowa you can actually see their ankels.

[soonervegas]

10 of the bottom 12 have great local food. And one....(Nevada's) whole damn state is built on excess. I really don't know much about W.V.

I'll take 70 years of hash browns and gravy over 74 years of fruit and granola thank you very much.

You're right. That's because they are #15. :rolleyes:

That's funny right there.

[Viking Kitten]

A guy goes in to see his doctor.

"Doc," he says. "What do I need to do to live to be 100?"

"Do you smoke?" asks the doctor.

"No," replies the man.

"Do you drink?"

"No."

"Do you eat fried, fattening foods?"

"No."

"Do you chase around loose women?"

"No."

"Then why," asks the doctor, "do you want to live to be 100?"

[C&CDean]

Eggzactly.

[Breadburner]

If Semen was full of cholesterol and tri-glycerides Barney Frank would have been dead a long time ago.....
