We live here so  we already know this, but Iowa was just ranked #1 Most American State in the nation.  DAMN STRAIGHT! 'MERICA!

Sure, every state would claim that they are the most American state, but now we here in Iowa can prove it with something to back it up with. Estately just answered that for us as they rated every state in the nation according to the following stats:

  • Bald eagles per square mile (source: U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service)
  • Olympic gold medals won, per capita (source: I.O.C)
  • Astronauts born in each state, per capita (source: Wikipedia)
  • Fast food restaurants, per capita (source: Yellow Pages)
  • Total Major League Baseball players born in each state (source: Baseball Reference)
  • Percentage of homes with firearms (source: BRFSS)
  • Percentage of Facebook users in each state expressing interest in the “United States of America”(source: Facebook)
  • Google searches for “Bin Laden dead” (source: Google Trends)

That's right, we're rated on Fast Food Restaurants and homes with firearms. Of course, we have a ton of astronauts that came from Iowa and we just simply kick ass.
So, Congrats fellow Iowans, we are #1! King of the 50. We feed the world!
