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

My proposal is to deal with the systemic root cause, the grubby hands of rich corpos... again.

This time the food industry though, so yay at least we have many different kinds of cartoon villains.
