Live here and die young

Your Life Span in North Carolina is equal to that of a 3rd world country.

Reading my latest Time magazine leads me to an article called "live here & prosper." It indicates North Carolina as a red-state with the lowest life-span of all the colors on the map.

North Carolina rated at 75.8 is actually higher then most of the other southern states like Louisiana, & Mississippi, but is much worst then Smog Haven California and Snowy Minnesota.

The article suggests lifespan is based on everything from income to food.

Is this really a surprise to any of us? We are a state of smoking, drinking, barbecuing, mustard-chili-and-onion eating, light our leaves on fire in our own yards kind of state.
