Stress = Fat

I'm a stress eater. So, you know what that means. I hate it!

According to new estimates, Utah's overall poverty rate was 9.7 percent in 2008, up from 8.8 percent in 2000. Still, the state's overall poverty rate was ninth lowest in the nation, and a third lower than the national rate of 13.2 percent.

Utah is 9th lowest in the nation. South Carolina ranks 10th highest in the nation. No wonder Jon could find work in Utah; not in South Carolina - even in tough economic times. An interesting comparison: South Carolina ranks 4th in the nation for unemployment rate - one of only four states reporting greater than 10%. Utah is 4th from the last (September, 2009). And they ask, "Why didn't he just stay there?" ("Let them eat cake").
