While California is overall rather 'blue', there are parts of it that are incredibly conservative.

To a certain degree, overall health and 'health conscious behaviors' are more common among liberals than conservatives.
The understanding that Covid is real and dangerous, that vaccines are safe and effective are clearly more common in 'blue' areas than 'red' ones.

Of course, Trump supporters have been clearly shown to be less educated.
Pretty clear that they can't spell very well either.

I think college education allows you to understand the concept of rates and correlation.

California is not a county.  I'm surprised you don't know that.

Your spelling needs work, too.

It's just data.  The 26 highest obesity rates are in red counties.  If you conclude from that that obesity is tied to a political party, that's on you.

> The 5 largest ethnic groups in Perry County, AL are Black or African American (Non-Hispanic) (70.1%), White (Non-Hispanic) (28.4%), 

> Green County 80% African American 

> Claiborne 87% African American 

Would keep going but looks like the trend would continue in the top 10.

The only person inferring causation is you.

If your are going to poke fun at the "college educted" (sic).

Maybe better spelling would help make your point.

You've said the same thing Kallend said - but now he's inferring things and you're not.

Perhaps check that logic?
