Louisville is not good for me

At least, that's what this study says. To summarize, out of 100 US cities, Louisville ranks #97 with regard to men's health. The study looked at several factors such as "life-and-death data on cancer, heart disease, and stroke, lifestyle issues, such as annual income and daily commute, crime rates and college graduation rates. Lastly, [they] ran a sweat check, looking at how often, how long, and how intensely men exercise." Louisville is not good for me. For example, this is what the typical Louisville man looks like today:

While Buda, Kyle and San Marcos could not be found on the list, Austin and San Antonio found themselves at 21 and 68 respectively. I suppose Austin is 21 because of all the health food nuts there... or maybe it's all the cyclists.... or maybe it's all the liberal t-sips on hunger strikes...

San Antonio spent some time as the nation's fattest city, didn't they? That would explain their rank in the bottom half of the list. Either way, I'm not interested in being in a city that is detrimental to my health.

So for my own sake, Helen and I are moving to Hawaii.

Just kidding.
