I’ve been consistently baffled by visual depictions of data since the time I could read. They confuse me. Looks like it happened again.
Even worse, I had the idea reading this that it wasn’t about the speed with which people eat, but the amount of food they consume. With US at the top, I thought the point was that Americans eat too much, not too quickly.
