2008 Unhealthiest States. Has been released, and guess which state is the unhealthiest. Its the lovely M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I that spells Mississippi! Sorry to all the Mississipeans out there (yes, Mississipeans is a word {that I made up}). Mississippi took this wonderful place from Louisiana for having the highest- teenage births (stupid teenagers), age-adjusted death rate (Know idea what that means), infant mortality rate,and sexually transmitted diseases. Also it has the most percent of overweight, and non-exercising (made that up too) adults.
The rest of the places are..
2. Louisiana 9. Alabama
3. New Mexico 10. Delaware (stupid air quality)
4. Nevada 11. Arizona
5. Florida 12. Texas
6. Georgia 13. Alaska
7. South Carolina 14. Arkansas
8. Oklahoma 15. Tennessee
For Delaware (that's my state) being # 10, I blame the stupid air quality! (And none of our county's past the Environmental Protections Agencies test on our air quality!!)
But maybe your state will have made the top 15 healthiest (unhealthiest without the un) states.
Clocking in at #1 is Minnesota (but other than that why would you want to live there) because they have lot's of "responsible" adults who "exercise" apparently. And Hillary Clinton would love to go there because they ranked #1 in you guessed it- Health care coverage!!!
But they rest of the healthiest states are...
2. New Hampshire 9. North Dakota
3. Vermont 10. Rhode Island
4. Maine 11. Connecticut
5. Massachusetts 12. Utah (my bro is obsessed with this state)
6. Iowa 13. Washington
7. Nebraska 14. Wisconsin
8. Hawaii (finally a popular state) 15. Kansas
SO if you state is here congrats to you and if not, well better luck next year!
Later,
Texis
