Healthy makes you happier!


OK, some study published today ranks the nations with the happiest people on earth. The BBC reports:

1st - Denmark
2nd - Switzerland
3rd - Austria
4th - Iceland
5th - The Bahamas
23rd - USA
41st - UK
90th - Japan
178th - Burundi

What's the connection? According to the study, healtier nations are happier nations! And based on the top three nations on this list, access to delicious pastries and chocolates matters, too. Here in the mighty USA, Baby Boomers in large were found to be sullen and unhappy. Repeated viewings of The Big Chill will do that to you.
