Where do heart disease and stroke occur the most? - CNN.com (http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/10/15/heart.disease.map/index.html)

Very strong case for more parks, sidewalks, bike paths and general walkability.

Lots of lower income folks and fast food joints....Bad combo that will keep us in the lead for years to come...Unfortunately

It's no coincidence that OK also ranks very high in percentage of adults that smoke... #3 in the country at over 24%.

Smoking is by far the worst thing you can do for your heart.
