Data sources:

IHME for Eating Disorders: https://vizhub.healthdata.org/gbd-results/?params=gbd-api-2019-public/f1bf0c87fed062c9ae7a0c7734804b9d

Obesity: https://web.archive.org/web/20200802220913/https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2228rank.htmlhttps://ourworldindata.org/obesity

Note: The most comprehensive compilation of obesity rates for all countries was in 2016 so for axis coherence, ED values are also 2016 figures

I'd skip the axis labels on the average cross, they confused me a bit at first. Otherwise nice plot.

I'm curious as to how the Eating Disorder Rates was determined. Most of the dots in lower left are SEA countries. Could be a case of healthy diet or a case of lack of diagnosis in ED. Notice the 3 dots above it, SG, Korea and Japan. Their diets are kind of similar to the ones at the lower left but they are advanced enough economies to support specialized diagnosis.
