Global Adult Obesity

5mon 15d ago by lemmy.world/u/noumenon in dataisbeautiful

Why are island people so obese? That's rather shocking to me.

I heard some theory on how the ones better suited in storing calories would survive the long boat trips of colonization. Also it's harder to get healthy food on those islands I think

That actually makes a lot of sense.

Stability and fat people.

I'd love to see changes over time too. May be tricky to visualise on a map?
