Non-hispanic white males (a CDC grouping, not mine) are slightly more likely to be obese than hispanics and blacks. Below 40, the minorities are grossly more likely to be obese. For women, non-hispanic whites are the least obese, hispanic and black women are obese in far higher %s.
Tea party is mostly white males I guess, so it makes sense with 30-40% having obese BMIs.
Of course since black women vote over 90% democrat, we could say that democrats are 50-something to 60-something % obese.
To the extent the poor are more "left" you can also say that the same demographic is fatter, too. Wealth is inversely correlated with obesity.
Yawn. Weight has nothing to do with politics.
