I don't disagree that the South has more prevalent health issues, but really?
The quadrangle has an average adult obesity rate of 35% to 37%. Wichita, KCMO/KCKS, Omaha - Council Bluffs, Des Moines, St. Louis are rated as some of the most obese cities in these United States.

my county is one of the bluest on that map, healthy, left leaning, and hot
The counties I lived in the Southeast were mid to dark blue, healthy, left leaning and hot, and at the beach in one instance, without Iowa State fans and snow.
Thanks for affirming your pinnacle first world problem living, tho
I've asked you this before but would you rather me live in the hood? You really seem to be offended that I don't live where you think I should. Ames schools has a minority population of 40%. Colored people have money too.
Oh yeah, my world view has always been one where there's no "colored" people with money, and that only white folks have first world problems.
If you step back and think about, this is actually why I get such a kick about your
because I know so many "colored" people (like you) are at the pinnacle of first world problems.
LMAO on your Ames Community Schools diversity statement. A very simple run through of statistics gives a very clear indication as to why Ames, MHK-Ogden, Lawrence Public, Iowa City Public schools etc. etc. have diverse public school enrollments that are not inline with the overall demographic population of the city itself. In each instance the largest employers in those cities have a substantially diverse work force and a substantially diverse population of post graduate students of which a substantial population in that demographic have children. They're all also relatively small school systems where the demographic numbers can be substantially impacted by a relatively small number of students. It's also likely not much of a stretch to consider that graduate students with children substantially impact the economically disadvantaged enrollment in those school systems as well..
I don't care where you live, unless you're trying to foist something so utterly disingenuous like those numbers on us.
