The Best Charts of 2019:

Food and Health

I’ve collected some of the most liked Chartstravaganza of 2019 to see what they say of the past year (and years.) I’ll publish around 20 each day this week … I hope you like them.

Stunning progress and going global

(@fao)

Agriculture in America

(@voxdotcom)

With some support

(@rwwilmington)

But progress also means that the real America is not rural

(@jkempenergy)

And also the value chain becomes more important

(@ft)

And also lead to an increase in meat consumption

(@ft)

And lots of waste

(@wef)

So food is cheaper but “healthy” food not necessarily so

(@simongerman600)

People are getting heavier

(@washingtonpost)

So now we have a new health issue … obesity

(@voxdotcom)

Health spending has been increasing way above inflation … in America

(@chcfnews)

Because other countries seem to have this issue more under control

(@maxcroser)

And some stuff is simply outrageous

(@nickp48)

Heart attacks and cancer don’t get their media share

(@ourworldindata)

Some new health issues:

1. The opioids epidemic

(@nytimes)

2. The anti-vax movement

(@wef)

And a bonus:

(@ft)

And another … that I had missed

(@ft)

That’s all.

Don’t miss the other parts of this series, like for example The Best of Economics … and please share!
