  1. This probably needs some more research but I’ll throw it out.

    Main protein source:
    above the line – large land mammals (cows, sheep, pigs)
    near the line – mixed
    below the line – fish

  2. love a good piece of data
    fast = fat made compelling by data

  3. Canada is clearly the undisputed champion of efficient, balanced eating habits.

    Yeah.

  4. Diets and diet aids do not help anyone. The only way to successfully lose weight and get the body that you want is by using the right information. This information can be found in the book Lose Weight Using Four Easy Steps which can be ordered through the website http://www.bbotw.com Everyone who has gotten a copy of this book is now healthier.

  5. The problem is, if you take out the two most obese countries on the chart, the US and Mexico (both outliers), then the correlation seems to vanish. The only conclusion I would draw from this graph is that the US and Mexico have much higher obesity rates than the rest of the world.
