Surprising Facts about Utah
Here are some depressing/ surprising news articles about Utah that I was not aware of-- actually I had heard about the anti-depressant use and the plastic surgeons, but not the huge dollar amount spent on hair color and cosmetics nor that Utah is the No. 1 consumer of online porn-- no wonder there were so many conference talks on porn-- But with all of this together-- I think there is a bigger problem here. Given that the population of Utah is about 70% LDS, it does cause one to wonder why Salt Lake City is the vainest city in the country, why is anti-depressant use TWICE what the next state uses, and why are we the no.1 consumer of online porn? Wow-- these are not good statistics for Utah. What's the deal-- what do you think?:
