You should.
Call me thick, but I don't get it.......
Are you saying you should post pictures of sparsely attended events thinking that will make people want to be there or come to the next one?
Maybe I'm missing something.....entirely possible....

The report posted says 23% same as Jersey and .1 higher than New York.
http://stateofobesity.org/states/vt/
this is the troubling statement
"Twenty states now have adult obesity rates at or above 30 percent, 43 states have rates of at least 25 percent, and every state is above 20 percent. In 1980, no state was above 15 percent; in 1991, no state was above 20 percent; in 2000, no state was above 25 percent; and, in 2007, only Mississippi was above 30 percent."

Hahaha, but you're still more likely to find an overweight or obese female in almost any other state than Vermont. Vermont is 4% below the national average in the data you just showed.
Regardless it's still insanely troubling though

That's extremely difficult for me to believe, at least from my wanderings/perception, but who knows. Though I wasn't merely speaking about weight in my comment, but just overall "beat-upp-ed-ness" as well. Really tough place to find attractive women.
It all depends on their sampling pool. Most national pollsters are not going to know that one needs to get out of, say, Chittenden County to see that Vermont is VERY different. I'd be willing to bet that this poll was based upon data from the BTV metro area. Translation: skewed data.
I would think the HHS and CDC would keep taps on this information through annual surveys of PCPs. Everyone's BMI is in their charts. With the growing rate of obesity related diseases such as diabetes and heart disease, there has to be a government body monitoring these trends to forecast funding for Medicare and Medicaid.

They were much more careful with their photos of Battle of the Band week number two. All were close-ups except they let one slip:

Call me a cynic but I have a feeling you aren't exactly a catch either.

Not at my age but still weighing in at 6ft., 180lbs.
Then again my wife still considers me a catch as I do her.
All that matters to me.
