America's Healthiest and Unhealthiest States. Wisconsin ranks within the top 15 *healthiest*, which quite honestly surprises me considering our tendency to put either cheese, sausage, or beer in pretty much everything (and occasionally all three - Wisconsin Beer Cheese Soup anyone? Even if it is bacon rather than sausage, but still).
Our love of fatty foods aside, I'm pretty sure our over all anti-smoking attitude probably gives us a lot of pull (the entire state is going Smoke-Free in public buildings starting next year), as well as our state health care program. There are probably other factors, too, but those are the biggest that come to mind.
Anyway, the point of this post - hurrah for a Healthy Wisconsin!
