It would have been nice if the image was much more complex in order to cover the entire spectrum of the death causes. I think they tried to refer to the major ones based on mortality reports. So I'm pretty sure most of the mortality reports especially the very early ones don't specify obesity as a cause of death, nor all the specifics about diets, or all the links between illnesses. I have to agree with u...we need more info on the table...but that means data!
Indeed, Corina Marinescu. It's a great first cut. Next to "enhance" the data by being able to click and zoom into the further details. And to show it by geography, income level, education level, etc. It's hard to get at such a big picture, and most people never bother asking or linking all the connections, which leads to less demand and adds to the difficulty of collection, which adds to people not seeking it. A viscous cycle of lost opportunity of data mining and knowledge dispersion. I wonder if they take comments on their infographics. Might just suggest that to them. Increase the demand.
