Sigh. It seems that Salt Lake City has some work to do.

Salt Lake City is only the second healthiest city in the United States, according to this study:

I get just a bit of a kick out of this because, among certain critics of Mormonism, a recurrent theme is that the Mormon lifestyle is a very unhealthy one, with Latter-day Saints strikingly obese and out of shape, etc. and etc. and etc.

Alas, though, the facts don’t support their criticism.  While things can always be better, Utah ranks relatively well among the fifty states and the District of Columbia:

Oh well.  There will be another angle of attack.  And then, when a few days have passed, they’ll return again to this one.
