    Wasn't the fash stereotype in the 2000s was that they were all morbidly obese rednecks? I know you have to be kinda prissy to be a hog, but those inbreds are the last place I'd go for beauty tips.

      You need to control for confounding variables like income and race, but when you do generally voting republican is correlated with obesity. Which isn't shocking, there was a culture war against like cardio and food considered "healthy" (diet isn't exactly simple, but also isn't shocking that obesity correlated with refusing to eat veggies). Wait, I should clarify, maybe not against cardio, but for a while cardio seemed to be portrayed as effectively a "coastal liberal elite" or female thing, which is obviously going to turn a way a ton or conservative dudes.
