Burlington, VT Named Healthiest U.S. City

What's the healthiest city in America? It appears to be Burlington, Vermont.

Vermont's largest city is tops among U.S. metropolitan areas by having the largest proportion of people -- 92 percent -- who say they are in good or great health.

From CNN.com

Upon returning from a nice relaxing vacation, I was surprised to see Burlington, VT named the healthiest city in the country. This is not because I have any qualms against Burlington or its hackysack-toting, dreadlock-growing, no-shower-taking, townsfolk, but rather because a majority of this conclusion came from 92% of the population claiming that they are in good health.

Really? That's how we're measuring this?
