Yes, I stated in my opening post that it was their stated goal to become America's Healthiest Hometown. But they actually took the title long before any attempt at earning it.
I also agree that the survey was to see where TV stands in comparison to similar and other communities. However, to do good science (i.e. to keep bias out) they should never have told us. Essentially, it was likely interpreted by many Villagers that we were in competition to see who's the best/healthiest.
The majority (about 2/3?) did not participate. Were they the least well among us? Would some drop out because of not wanting to be a drag on the overall result?
