    This infographic is definitely on spot, even though it is using percentages, and the reason I say that is because it is actually true. USA does have the highest ratings in obesity, and this infographic helps those who might be illiterate to understand better.

    I thought this one was slightly offensive. Thats why I rated it in the middle. I thought that it is supposed to be helpful as well, but it shows the obesity rate in many different countries. I Just felt that the pictures themselves were somewhat offensive.

    My rating was in the middle at 29%. Other has rated this "infographic" at 36% more beneficial than I did. I believe this image was confusing because it did not state at the top what it was rating, it just shows the pictures and can be misleading.

    My question is: what is the goal of this image? Perspective? Fat-shaming? I rated in the middle because to be honest, I'm not sure!

    I believe is more beneficial than harmful because even if the data might not be 100% accurate it is true that we have seen a problem with obesity in various countries and I know that in places like Mexico they are like second or third place with more people with obesity. I think it is beneficial propaganda with a message that is simple more people is becoming obese more in some countries than others.

    I think it is info graphs in general are harmful. As a viewer, you don't know where this information is coming from, the sample of people in the study, or how the results were reached. It is missing a HUGE piece of the puzzle!

    This "infographic" should be an eye-opener to those who live in each of the large percentage of obesity countries. It's a great way to stir things up and get people motivated and talking about what to do with this issue.
