Visual of the day - Fat and Happy

In light of our upcoming discussion, I decided to go back to the OECD Social indicators data and plot obesity against happiness. Each dot represents a nation.

Notice that there is slight positive correlation - the nations with higher obesity report somewhat higher life satisfaction. Correlation does not imply causation, but this is interesting for a curious mind nevertheless.
