Or have the map shaded in greyscale so that it gradually fades to black as a state gets fatter and fatter. (Statistically more robust since thresholds of percent greater than X can be noisy.) Or do one of those warping cartographic projections, making the states bigger as they get fatter, as Colorado gradually disappears. Chung or anyone, can you find the state-by-state data that goes into this map? I want to plot individual state trendlines. For example, to address Donald's question of how Colorado hates America - does it have a slower increase of obesity, or is it just offset to a lower %age? I have heard of this issue before but I'm still kinda surprised at how big the increase is over only a 20 year period. Ben |
