Maybe they only collected 2 points and drew a straight line through it? Somebody commented how North Korea looks like somebody did it w/ an exponential function, it's way too smooth. Obv all these should come with a huge grain of salt..
Somebody suggested that maybe France (& Spain?) went slightly down because they had lots of immigration from thinner countries? That could (temporarily?) negate a trend up.
Or maybe there is really a peak obesity depending on your country.
Just keep on traditional foods.......like imported soy oil etc.
4 interesting countries:
1. Mexico is a straight diagonal line. No curve. Weird.
2. United Arab Emirates has a dip in obesity. Has that ever happened in another country?
3. Netherlands seems to have done something so they are getting fatter way slower.
4. Venezuela. The most interesting one imo.
It's the first country that seems to have a *negative* tendency?
It seems like they reached their peak obesity and have come down. Super interesting.
Edit: France has gotten leaner. That's insane.
Venezuela went through a sort of famine when their economy collapsed (they import a lot of their food), it’s an outlier.
The we should have seen a dip, not trend reversal.
Scratch that. France has gotten LEANER? Mmmmm should we just eat baguettes all day?
I'm for that! Slathered with butter. Consider croissants. However, my wife and I made croissants from scratch. I loved it. I also blown off the scale.

Very interesting. I have thought about this too due to travel and working abroad. Does WHO have a tool like this?
If so I haven't seen it, that's why I made this.
