A survey by Maine Lobster Now has found that Utah ranks in the top five of all 50 states when it comes to healthy eating and drinking habits. The study compared U.S. states across 10 indicators, including consumption of fruits and vegetables, sugary drinks, fast food and alcoholic beverages. Utah also scored with the lowest adult rates of high blood pressure (27.3 percent), high cholesterol (31.2) and coronary heart disease (6.6 percent). The study also found that fast food restaurants make up nearly 60 of all eateries in Utah, the third-highest share in the country.
