It would, however, be interesting to see/compare deaths from complications of obsesity in all three states. I think that might yeild better and more accurate statistics.
I agree.
I have an advanced reporting class next term in which we'll be doing stories that interpret and analyze statistical data. I may well use this topic for my project. The info is out there; I think it just hasn't been put together the right way yet.
There are a whole bunch of different things to add in--everything from access to health care to pollution. But I do think statistical anomalies like the Hawaii thing deserve more attention than they're getting.
