Comments about ‘More educated parents have healthier kids’

This paragraph illustrates why I don't trust "reports" produced by private liberal activist groups or the fawning, uncritical coverage given them by the Media:

"Utah is generally in the middle of the pack nationwide for child well-being, but it has the second worst infant mortality rate with 5.1 deaths per 1,000 births, the report states. The rate is a point lower than the national average, but it's nearly two points higher than the report's benchmark rate researchers deem acceptable for a healthy society 3.2 deaths per 1,000 live births."

So Utah has the second-highest infant mortality rate at 5.1 deaths/1,000 births, but the rate is still lower than the national average of approximately 6.1/1,000?

For this to be true, then the worst state for infant deaths must have an astronomical rate that skews the data for everyone else.

Otherwise, one must conclude either the statistic is wrong, or the paragraph is poorly-written. In either case, it's not enough to convince me that Utah has a problem with infant mortality anyway.

Just look at what parents here put in the grocery carts (boxes and cans). No brain food or "food for thought"...You don't make Nobel Prize winners out what the children are feed!
