You, like most here miss the point.

Outdoor physical activity is the main difference. Colorado has the most active population. Colorado 83.8

Nah. You think? I work out six times a week and three of those days involve cardiovascular exercise outdoors. If people would actually exercise and get outdoors like they do in Colorado, the country would be better off health-wise.

Do you also think that people that are into those things move to places like that?

Especially since a big part of their population growth after weed legalization are millennials that like the outdoors and pot.

The main difference is diet...and I imagine it's true that there is a high correlation between people being active and also eating right. But diet is 90% of it.

Now how many states, especially in the South (outside of coastal areas) have the same access to outdoor activities?

Areas like Denver get something like 300 days of sunshine and only have two months (July/August) where they average over 81 degrees on the high end. In winter, they're primed for outdoor activities because of the terrain and legitimate access to good green space even in urban areas.

I'd probably be outside most of the time too if I had that kind of climate to be outside in.
