I'm starting to like the Hungarians less and less. First I found out about Turanism, and now it turns out their children are fat. e: of course Romania is least obese, I'm beginning to notice a pattern in the graphs you post

It is acceptable. Also, no wonder Norway and Switzerland don't want to join EU, they don't have a single non red postcode. Apparently neither does Denmark, but they at least have both shades of red.

Every time I see one of these 'best places to live' maps I kinda wish my great grandfather never decided to move from Norway to farm wheat in northwest Minnesota around 1900. The hell was he thinking.

You can also see the divide between Wallonia and Flanders in Belgium. 3peat posted:Maybe it means bigger than (almost) all the EU Interesting. One poster said obesity tracks poverty in the USA, but this is clearly not the case for the EU. Poor Hungary and rich United Kingdom as the most obese, poor Romania plus relative affluent Italy and rich Netherlands as the least obese.

The hell was he thinking. There was lots of cheap land and there was economic issues in Norway at the time. Of course when your country is 90% of one ethnicity (and you're white, on top of that) it's pretty easy to make a rich country.

He/she was too busy to insert "Bailiwick of Guernsey" and "Bailiwick of Jersey" into the map to care for these unimportant details.

I don't know exactly why my great-great grandfather moved from Malta after WW1 but it was probably a combination of "poo poo's crowded" and "anyone wanting to control the Mediterranean is probably going to invade us, gently caress that". e: For content, population density of Malta:

Obesity is definitely linked to poverty/race in the US. Not sure what might be done to reverse this trend though. From cdc.gov

If the UK is representative of the whole Union, then obesity rates nationwide are still in sync with poverty rates, but they don't match up between nation states. And especially neighbors Romania and Hungary being at the opposite end of the listing. What's up with that? Edit: And back to the Europe map of wealth, look at Italy and understand why there are some people in Northern Italy that want to get rid of the south.

Antwan3K posted:Well how foreign was the Royal Ulster Constabulary Force actually to those uppity Irish papists? You simply cannot compare these two. It begins with different, and feuding, sects of the same religion, the fact that there were Celts against Anglo-Saxons and the fact that these Anglo-Saxons were settling/colonizing parts of Celtic Ireland.

Kamrat posted:Obesity in Britain: This is really interesting because I always thought that Scotland had a bigger obesity problem than the rUK. According to this though, its not as bad as the big problems in the North of England... That could be because either Glasgow is lumped in with Bute and bits of the West Coast or its split between two regions which dilutes its impact... Although Scots apparently aren't as fat as the English; we're all still doing to die sooner!

Kamrat posted:Wow, why do you think that is, more manual labor or something? Scotland's always been seen as a place with an awful diet; but I don't know why its so much worse than England generally. Its always been quite a bit poorer than England; but then again so is the North of England and it seems to do better than Scotland does. Glasgow has bits where the life expectancy is shockingly low - in Calton, its 53 and that seems to be trending downwards... Things are getting better though; in the 90s it was universally below 70 across Scotland and its rising year-on-year. Its definitely getting better though; those figures are 2006 (there are newer ones available but I liked that map; the trend is the same though), and in the early 90s it was universally below 70 in Scotland...

Benito Hitlerstalin posted:What the gently caress does skin color have to do with it? Ethnic cohesion has a really strong record when it comes to making a nation more cohesive and capable of building the kind of institutions that lead to a strong economy. Things like funding to schools, willingness to invest in infrastructure, social capital and engagement, the public's willingness to engage in collective action all have a negative correlation with ethnic diversity in places from America to Africa to Southeast Asia to nearly everywhere studied. It's not a very nice observation, but its pretty solidly backed by the majority of research and it really does an amazing job of explaining quite a few historical phenomenon like why America never went full social democracy like Europe and why our labor movement never took off to the same extent and why Europe's social democracy is breaking down as it becomes more diverse.
