Link Between Driving and Obesity
Image Credit: GOOD.isThe great people at GOOD recently posted a great graphic full of good information. Indeed, they did.
The graphic allows you to see the linkage between the way people travel and the obesity rates, by state. In short, the states that appear lighter in color have a greater percentage of people that travel via foot, bike, and public transit. The states that are dark blue rely heavily on cars for transportation.
