Must Be All That Granola...

Kudos to the homeland for being the healthiest state in the nation for the 7th out of 8 years. Credit is given to the high public health spending, low obesity rate, low child poverty and violent crime rate, and more. My theory is that there is such a high value on the quality of food in Vermont- from the abundance of farmers market and local food to the high number of health food stores and co-ops.

Howard Dean said it best:

"While I ran for president I often said that America would be a better place if it was more like Vermont. I still firmly believe that to be true." -Dean
