Once the patents on Wegovy etc expire, costs will go down and obesity will become rare. I think those drugs will change US society (unless it turns out to be more harmful than positive for your health long-term)
USA: obesity epidemic for 30 years.
USA: Sees first drop in life expectancy in 100 years.
People on the internet: iT’s tHe MicRoPlasTiCs
CDC 2023 data has Colorado beating Hawaii by a whole point, but no Hawaii has slightly edged out the lead.
And its because Hawaii’s rate went down, which I can’t recall happening for any other state. Usually the stats just shuffle around because some go up faster than others in a year.
Dafuq, why did they Thanos snap Canada out of this.
I don’t make me do a tiny amount of clicking to find that data, spoon feed me!
Is this actually accurate? Google says 17% for France
Imagine the metrics the US could brag about if the red states were their own shithole country.
Ok, but which one is 40.6?
Ireland consumes most calories per capita, weird stat don’t know what to make of it.
Gives a whole new meaning to “Mountain mama”
It would be more interesting if Europe was divided by their state/province/district level
Related stat. In 2000 Mississippi was the most obese state in the USA. Every US state now has a higher obesity rate than 2000 Mississippi.
I’m 6’4 240 and am considered as overweight and only .8 away from being obese. I am not, I just go to the gym. BMI is wack.

US Data comes from [World Population Review ](https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/obesity-rate-by-state)and European countries from [World Health Organisation (WHO)](https://www.who.int/data/gho/data/indicators/indicator-details/GHO/prevalence-of-obesity-among-adults-bmi–30-(crude-estimate)-(-)). Created using [datawrapper.de](https://www.datawrapper.de/).
USA USA US… okay maybe not
I would also like to see smoker rates USA vs EU
Ok, we get it. We’re fat. Move along.
Interesting that Spain has a higher [life expectancy](https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/products-eurostat-news/w/ddn-20240503-2) than France, yet Spain has almost twice the share of obese people. Obesity affects life expectancy for sure, but maybe to a lesser degree than we tend to think?
What’s going on in Romania?!
> create blog for map visualizations
> buy TLD
> make scales like “10.9-43.7%”
fuck off
