US Map: Calories in, Calories out

Caption

A map of the contiguous United States that shows phrases used on Twitter whose increased usage contribute the most to that state's 'calories in' and 'calories out' differing from the overall averages of these measures. For example, tweets from Vermont, which was above average for both calories in and calories out, disproportionately contain "bacon" and "skiing." Michigan was above average for calories in and below for calories out. Its most distinguishing phrases are "chocolate candy" and "laying down."
