Obesity in developed countries vs. Gross domestic product of OECD countries Gross domestic product

you would think there would be more correlation. a few years back obesity was called "the new face of poverty," possibly true.

you won't get much correlation at such an aggregate level, when you compare across countries with strong cultural differences (diets, lifestyles, etc.). Within a country, however, that is very likely.

there's an 87% correlation across all 30....

So what does this mean? Does the UK have a better diet than us? Do they take better care of their poor? Would love some insight!
