Best States for Raising Healthy Kids??
-- Connecticut is America's top state for raising healthy kids, while Alaska ranks lowest on a list compiled by Child Magazine.
Of course, it's possible to raise a fit child anywhere. No state has a monopoly on health, but some may make it a bit easier to achieve, according to the survey.
See where your state ranks and why?

Yeah, what he said!This is silly. States are ranked higher or lower because of requiring or not requiring PE classes and if they have healthy foods in school cafeterias. This is simply encouraging a lack of individual responsibility. A state is not safer for children because it offers healthy food in school cafeterias. It does assist parents and children in that it makes healthier choices available. That's not the same as being a safer state in which to raise children. A safer state in which to raise children would be one in which factors beyond control of parents are either naturally safer or are controlled by the state - clean air comes to mind, toxic waste is another.

Just more things to think about. Just because there are programs that take nutrition into consideration doesn't mean that child is going be exposed to less underage drinking, drugs, crime, and have any better respect for humanity. Almost my entire family (including bother-in-law) and best friend are teachers or school administrators. It's amazing how they are treated by btoh students and parents alike. The lack of respect for authority and their fellow human being is truly shocking.

However it has encouraged people to talk about real subjects such as the quality of life and subjects truly important to raising kids...and for that...it was good!
So anyone wanna move to CT???

I agree with the consensus here.
However did you note that WV ranked 7th. I would have thought first. This is a great place to live, hard place to make a living. My kids have all thrived here.

Remember that you show compassion to others not because of who they are but because of who you are.

LOLOLOL, Just kidding!Do not go to Oklahoma unless you want them to drive pick up trucks & think a night of entertainment is a "kegger" in a middle of a field!
