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

There’s always someone frothing at the mouth to bring politics into any subject.

Just pointing out an interest relation. Health is political unfortunately.

Medicare 4 All is obviously political so it’s not like this was a non political discussion
