    I was surprised to see such a large disparity in the fitness levels between the geographic regions of the US. The West does fit the stereotype of being more in shape.

    It should then come as no surprise that the East Coasters take the easier path and have a higher rate of plastic surgery.

    Plastic surgeons data:
    State No. of board-certified plastic surgeons (2010) Population (2010) Ratio (population to surgeons)
    District of Columbia: 22 /601,723 = 27,351: 1
    Maryland: 157 /5,773,552 = 36,774: 1
    Florida: 477 /18,801,310 = 39,416: 1
    New York: 487 /19,378,102 = 39,791: 1
    California: 881/37,253,956 = 42,286: 1
    Maryland: 149 /6,547,629 = 43,944: 1
    New Jersey: 191 /8,791,894 = 46,031: 1
    Utah: 60 /2,763,885 = 46,064: 1
    Hawaii: 29 /1,360,301 = 46,907: 1
    Delaware: 19 /897,934 = 47,260: 1

      agreed Marc! Also, the data on plastic surgery is somewhat shocking.....
