Think of all the unnecessary strain on our health care system. The lost economic output. All the mental health issues that compound due to physical health issues relating to fatness.
Almost like it is design
Did they change the definition of obese between 2012 and 2022?
Yeah, this is a data, inputs or measurement difference graph, not an apples to apples visualization. As bad as healthy and obesity in our country are and have been, this did not change by this much in 10 years. I’d guess either the data for 2012 was skewed low or 2022 high relative to the other.
So would that mean that California has actually gotten fitter in that period of time, since it appears to be the only state with no visible change? (Edit: Michigan as well)
When did the weight cut offs change? I dont recall seeing that anywhere in the past 15+ years?
I’m also curious what metrics they used to measure obesity.
I would also like to know.
When 20-25% is green
Wooooololololol America out there just crushing it!
Burger? Crushed!
Shakes? Crushed!
Fries? Crushed!
Pizza? Crushed!
Park bench? Oh fuck yeah crushed!
Santa’s Lap? Oh you better believe that mother fucker was crushed!
Exercise and a low fascist/maga diet? No, not crushed. But they’ll get there.
Cali
That’s the covid weight
When selling a calorie generates profit how else could it turn out?
So yo tuned on the alarms, however, they did nothing about it.
Way to go Hawaii, the only state getting fitter…
Might want to check those colors again
That’s what I get for reading quickly on my phone… :-( I guess at least California isn’t getting fatter
michigan, as well. one notch looser on the belt, but steady nonetheless.
My Dad is a personal trainer in CA - I texted him this and said “you did it!”
That’s fucking funny. My coffee has been spat.
I withdraw my down vote with your gracious accountability and up vote for cali. At least there are a few.
There’s no seasons…
There’s a couple “monsoon months” where you’ll get frequent 15 minute downpours.
But I lived there for a while and went to the beach literally everyday for a year. When it’s always “beach season” people don’t put on that 10-15lbs of winter weight every year. It’s easier to just stay in shape than to get back into shape every year.
Some parts of Florida are similar, but Florida is thrown off by all the elderly Midwesterners that retire in Florida
Hawaii got fatter. I guess fewer people are going to the beach?

how is this beautiful?
The data is beautiful. What it represents: not so much
it’s just a map with some colours, i don’t see how that’s particularly beautiful.
Is the bar for entry here just… not having images be black and white?..
The colors mean something though, it’s not like I gave a child a crayon box and told them to color within the lines
but it’s not particularly beautiful, it’s just a bog-standard statistical map
you can make this in 5 minutes in microsoft paint
The beauty is in the data itself, not just the image. It took more than 5 minutes to collect all that data
so if someone posts a table of the data that’s also a post that belongs here?
Read the !about for this community and it will answer that question for you
Obesity is narcissism. Consuming more than you need, even to the point of harming yourself.
Must have been the year McDonalds released the value meal.
