Unless you really really really like southern food, California wins and it isn't close. There is no argument to be made.

Possibly when you add up what's available in LA, San Fran, and San Diego. But it's not like Atlanta doesn't have the same diversity of cuisine those cities do. Hell, it's harder to get good Southern food in a restaurant in Atlanta than people think. There are only maybe 2 or 3 places I would consider good for Southern food out of the thousands in the city.

Besides, diversity isn't everything. Southern food has been perfected over the course of 400 years. Give me matured over the flavor of the week any day

The rest of what you said =

I think whichever city has the higher obesity rate wins. You can't argue with statistics.

I don't find (in my experience) that the diversity of food in California is anymore or less than the diversity of food in Georgia. Anything available in CA is available in GA, and vice versa.

I think the freshness and quality of ingredients of the food is the primary factor. Diversity isn't exactly inherent to quality either. Personally, I like East/Southeast Asian food a lot, and while Atlanta has some decent stuff there, its obviously nothing compared to Cali.
Cali is also just bigger, so its kinda unfair.

So more is better to some people I guess. Atlanta has the same foods, but because California has more of it - CA wins?

So the question should be reworded to like "Which state grows the most produce?".

It's basically going to come down to preference if you remove basic food items that can be found every from the equation. Each city will have their strong points based on the demographics and history of that region.
