How much would we save if overweight adults dropped to below 20%?

What’s your proposal?

it is crazy how well obesity rates correlate to political parties.

If you start at the fattest state, you have to go to number 13 before you hit your first democratic 2020 voting state. 19 for your second. Only 2 dem states in the bottom 20, only 4 rep states in the top 20

Is the data broken down that way? I would assume rural areas are considerably more obese than cities but that’s just based on my experience in both.
