Maine is the 8th healthiest state

"America's Health Rankings" from United Health Foundation has released their classifications of the health of each state. It was nice to see Maine at #8 as well as Connecticut and Massachusetts at #7 and 9 respectively. Maine improved across the board except in the "Prevalence of Obesity" category where it increased from 19.9% to 23.3% of the population between 2004 and 2005. Ouch.
