The Standard American Diet or SAD is absolute garbage and smoking anything is stupid.

But several of these studies are based on miles driven to suggest social distancing and these regions are more spread out and grocery stores are far apart.

'Pre-diabetic' likely applies to everyone.  I had one Dr. who freaked out about how I was pre-diabetic and attempted to get me onto his gluten-free-vegan diet.  Next Dr. didn't even mention me being pre-diabetic.  So it is either an 'everyone has it' so it gets mentioned when the doc thinks you need to change or only brought up to try to scare people into behavior change that the doc thinks is important.

The map specifically says 'diagnosed' cases.  I would bet that there are a lot of undiagnosed cases elsewhere, since it is specifically mentioned.

One observation….

With the exception of Alaska, more pleasant weather systems in summer seem to have a link.....    People get out and exercise more when it not 100 degrees and humid.

Flatlands with heat don't seem to bode well, look at the mountains of Virginia, vs. the swamp area...

Also, looking at that map it's hard not to consider race as a factor....

I can't explain the upper part of Maine.

Really bad news for the racist POS that wrote this garbage.
https://www.propublica.org/article/early-data-shows-african-americans-have-contracted-and-died-of-coronavirus-at-an-alarming-rate
As of Friday morning, African Americans made up almost half of Milwaukee County's 945 cases and 81% of its 27 deaths in a county whose population is 26% black. Milwaukee is one of the few places in the United States that is tracking the racial breakdown of people who have been infected by the novel coronavirus, offering a glimpse at the disproportionate destruction it is inflicting on black communities nationwide.
View Quote
In Michigan, where the state's population is 14% black, African Americans made up 35% of cases and 40% of deaths as of Friday morning.

Louisiana has not published case breakdowns by race, but 40% of the state's deaths have happened in Orleans Parish, where the majority of residents are black.

Illinois and North Carolina are two of the few areas publishing statistics on COVID-19 cases by race, and their data shows a disproportionate number of African Americans were infected.

They're already trying to spin this as racism due to inequalities in medical care for black people.  We're going ot be hearing more than AOC's stupid ass spouting off about corona reparations.  Several congress critters are demanding that the CDC start releasing race figures. So we're going to have shit bag leftist with people in their own communities doing the majority of the dying and they're going to be blaming everyone except themselves, brace yourselves it's coming. As if a doctor could stop you from stuffing your face with trash.

The real root of the problem isn't going to be attacked because the food industry pays for the congress critters, just look at the shit in the grocery stores.  Fat is evil, carbs are good, and insulin resistant people and diabetics are being wiped out.

Notice the deep red goes away on the white map, and Alabama is now only 5% higher than FL
The worst part of simply looking at obesity is that it completely ignores all the skinny people who also have underlying medical problems that they aren't being treated for.  Diabetes and hypertension aren't just for fat people now.
