Plump it up…
Compelling graphic showing the rise in obesity in the U.S over the past 20 years. The map shows the increase state by state from 1985 to 2006, and makes a strong impression through the use of color coding the percentages. The 1985 map shows a handful of states with 10-14% of their population overweight, then finishes with 2006 showing the majority of the U.S. saturated in red, indicating states with an obesity rate greater than 25%.
