Interesting US States obesity data, ranked red vs blue states

To be pedantic, this data doesn&#x27;t say anything about the <i>far</i> right. For that, you would need to cite data about the far right itself (instead of red vs blue states), or lacking that try to argue correlations between far right presence in red majority in states affecting averages to whatever degree or something, though thats a quite weak argument imo.<p>(This is not a statement about whether far right is obsessed with fitness, I&#x27;m just saying that the data cited does not directly say anything about the question.)

It would be interesting to compare this to the average voter age per state as well. The I suspect correlation between weight and voting tendency might be bridged by age.

Interesting article on obesity compared state wise. MSNBC(<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.msnbc.com&#x2F;opinion&#x2F;msnbc-opinion&#x2F;pandemic-fitness-trends-have-gone-extreme-literally-n1292463" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.msnbc.com&#x2F;opinion&#x2F;msnbc-opinion&#x2F;pandemic-fitness...</a>) last week had published that right wing is obsessed with fitness.<p>Apparently most obese states are red states!

TLDR: depending on states, 25 to 40% of the US population is obese.
