There has been a lot of information in the press 
over the last two days about the locations of Britain's happiest and fattest people. It seems the happiest people live in a rural area of mid Wales and the fattest people are in the Shetlands.
over the last two days about the locations of Britain's happiest and fattest people. It seems the happiest people live in a rural area of mid Wales and the fattest people are in the Shetlands.The questionnaire which was used to compile the happiness data along with the results for 273 districts in the UK can be found here. If you check it out you will see that Dundee comes a lowly 263 out of 273! Cheer up - it could be worse. Glasgow is 268th. The BBC website also carries a report of the study here.
The distribution of obesity across Britain is similarly interesting. While it is harder to see patterns in Scotland, in England there is definitely a fatter north and west and a leaner south and east.

Also note that map indicates that the happiest place (Powys) also comes into the fattest group? I have not looked at the other happy places - but does it hold that happy people are generally chunkier?
