If you live in Mississippi, do you agree with their findings?

If you don't, where does your state rank?

CA is #41
I think there's a big focus on fitness and appearance here (not always a healthy focus on appearance) and the mild weather year round helps with outside sports and activities. Plus, there is a lot of access to affordable fresh foods year round.
