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

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.
