    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.
