And how is California not at the bottom?

why in the world would California be at the bottom? don't you realize how great the weather is here? we can be outdoors bike riding, skiing, hiking, swimming, running, walking, playing all kinds of sports... growing our own vegetables and fruit... eating fish... heck, we can go fishing in the ocean or in the lakes up in the mountains... which we do... and in many places in California, people care how they look--ergo, eat less, burn more calories... i would imagine that we also have a plethora of good doctors... since many doctors make good money, they can afford to live in California... we also offer much in the way of culture... being that i am in the central valley, i can go see a play just 45 minutes from where i live in any direction... Sacramento, San Jose, San Francisco...

We here in New England wish to commend your innovative use of the word "culture," in the same sentence with "Sacramento." We must, however, caution you not to use the word "plethora," if you are more than 5 miles away from Stanford University.

We are also worried that you perhaps are living downwind of a medical marijuana user and may be affected by the second-hand smoke.
