Is there a causal relationship between electricity consumption and obesity, or is it just an illusory correlation❓

No
I don’t even know what the graph results are supposed to mean. The Lower consumption side is too jumpy and goes in the two extremes.
What correlation?
Consumerist lifestyle of (some) richer countries leads to both of these, tho I don’t see any direct relation. I guess obese people may be more likely to invest in a bigger TV, may turn up the AC more, and spend more time in hospitals hooked to machinery?
Generally speaking, electricity is mostly used up by factories and businesses.
