Zillow Gone Wild, apparently has been around for a few years but new to me.  Eclectic houses . . .

I don’t know PETA might put out a hit on him. Or maybe the Vegan Vigilantes.

I think the point was consumers are increasingly fed up, not a special interest thing.

Well, at least I've exceeded the state's expectancy.  Of course I figure all the years living elsewhere have padded my resume.

Salt water is a preservative and irradiated things spoil slower. Incidentally my grandmother lived to 101 in a deep red area on that chart and my parents are 90 and 94. It would be interesting to see the map breakdown by counties.

OTOH our buddies @Little Steven and @Mr Holloway, both in dark blue ON, went too soon. Stats are just numbers.

I'm disappointed by this comment, Gary, because the fact of the matter is that there are likely very good reasons why the statistics are what they are for various regions.  It's worth trying to understand why the data is what it is, at least in my opinion, and the statistics are useful for helping you know where to look and perhaps form an hypothesis.

From articles I've read, breaking this down by race, in the south, would be more illustrative. Poverty and people that eat 10 platters of fried seafood at a sitting would also correlate. But Scottie is in his 90's, so who knows.

I was thinking more about OxyContin sales, for example.

You're correct John, I needed a sarcasm emoji 
Without digging deeper into it, I'd suggest gun violence and universal health care play a role in Canada vs. US, or is that 51st state vs. rest of US?  As for why East and West coasts of Canada do better than the inland and Northern provinces, it could be easier access to medical facilities, racial demographics (lifestyles?), education.

10 platters or 10 pictures, or somewhere inbetween.
