What’s wrong with this picture?

The data for this chart comes from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (www.bls.gov/oes/tables.htm) and NCHS (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1999-2018).

The knowledge behind the reasons why the chart looks the way it does comes from years of dealing with the NAI (Nutrition Advice Industry) and self-proclaimed wellness experts.  (For a previous essay about why “wellness” isn’t the cleanest word of all, click HERE.)

Why do you think this chart looks the way it does?  Interested in your thoughts.  Please share them.
