I've actually been surprised by Utah's stats. I would assume that the big cities would have everybody walking everywhere, thus keeping somewhat in shape. Utah's lack of huge cities has a bunch of people driving.
Would it be that Utahns are more recreational? |

| Busy, fast lifestyle of big city folks I think cause them to eat crap. If you get home at 7 p.m. you don't want to cook, you buy chinese. Pluse they don't walk, they take the bus or the subway. |

| I think Utah folks are definitely more active than most. States like MA and CT amaze me, those people always seem heavy to me. |

| I'm pleased with where we turned up on that chart. I'm better there never was an www.AAlamba.com or UAlabma.com or any outdoor equivalent to the awesomeness that is Bogley. |

Not at all! I think that Abby and Mitchell are also skewing the data. Other than that... :haha: |

| Speaking of skewing data, I just stumbled across obesity rates here at home: British Columbia averages about 19% overall (18% for men, 20% for women), but the Metropolitan Vancouver area averaged 11.7% in 2006. I think it's all the outdoor activities around & a sort of culture of fitness. Of course, that means that the rest of BC is about 30% obese, or some such number... |
