All the data was entered by CalorieLab, the fat map of the United States paints a grim picture of just how bad people are doing health wise. Living off the fat is a main reason for the crisis in the United States, an unhealthy country is a sad state of affairs globally. Why are people are getting fatter?
The website This is Why You?re Fat is an ode to this trend – whether seen as a commentary on North American dietary habits or a celebration of the deliciously bad – Amason and Blakey are devoted to the world’s new found obsession with over-the-top food. Within its first month the site pulled in over ten million eye balls, and attracted major nation media including CNN. The world cooked, they listened.
