According to those who have spent time in Copenhagen, the people of this area are very attractive. They are all tall, thin, and fair which is likely the result of several factors. The most commonly noted by both individual sources and the media is their dedication to public health and environmental maintenance. I have been told that the taxes on fatty and unhealthy foods are so high that it is more practical to eat healthy. So it seems to me that the people of Copenhagen eat healthy by necessity rather than by choice and hence they all remain fair and thin. Whereas in Philadelphia the least expensive item to purchase for food is cheese curls, Danes are more inclined to buy produce and bread due to its lower prices at the market. But does is not stand to reason that other foods being taxed to aggressively leads to a limitation of choice for the Danish people? Limitation of their freedom must not be so important when they are so unquestionably attractive and fair.
However this emphasis on a healthy diet is in direct contradiction with one of the most well-known facts about the Danes. Specifically that they are the largest producer of chocolates and pastries. In fact, the English word for the pastry "Danish" comes to us from the Danes. Even the Copenhagen-ers themselves, in their guides to the city for visitors, suggest that one start their day with a pastry. Since most people in Copenhagen speak English, all children are required to take eight years of it in school, Americans find no difficulty understanding their media publications. In fact, the Danes are not wholly unlike Americans except that they are all fair and thin. Everyone there wears the most attractive clothes because they are thin enough to fit designer sizes. And the city itself is also beautiful. A traveller from South Africa tells in her blog about a bakery bike tour in Copenhagen. So it would seem to me that the people of Copenhagen bike around their beautiful city all day in their beautiful clothes with adorable pastries in their bicycle baskets.

location (Sankt Peders Straede 29) for almost 400 years
To demonstrate this point, I will talk more on the importance of bicycles in their society. Nearly every person there, young and old, owns a bicycle. They use them to travel everywhere in the city. And people say that is it so safe there that they do not even have to lock their bikes to poles when they go in to stores or cafes. If a citizen does not own a bike they may use one for the day for a very low price because the bike-share program is so well developed. Even non-citizens and tourists may rent bicycles for the day. Since most of the people in Copenhagen ride bicycles, the air is very clean there. In pictures and videos it seems like sky and water there are always blue. Copenhagen is just simply brighter than Philadelphia. The biking program also encourage fitness, hence the people there stay so thin and attractive.
It follows, then, that people who do so much daily exercise on bicycles must drink water. Copenhagen is famous for its waterways and bays. Because the city is on an island, it is surrounded by water. This leads to fair weather, which in turn leads to their fair complexions. So much for the water and weather there, suffice it to say that the people in Copenhagen are by far the most attractive people in the world.
According to one blogger, the people of Copenhagen are not only beautiful, but also blissfully unaware of the fact. Therefore they are the happiest people in the world, in addition to being the most beautiful. In Los Angeles the beautiful people are so self-absorbed that they make themselves intentionally more miserable, as far as I can tell. However, in Copenhagen the people do not fret over attractiveness because they already possess the most beautiful city and peoples. It seems to me, therefore, that when a people spend plenty of time active, out of doors, and around natural bodies of water they will inevitably be the most happy, fit, and attractive people.
