    Nothing more beautiful than seeing transparent yellow-orange overlaid on top of transparent orange-yellow

    X = 100 → zero nutritious?
    Why inverted?

      Hope this helps:)

      (The chart legend seems not to be placed properly, maybe that’s why they mirrored the chart.)

      Oi, I noticed the vertical axis is logarithmic, the impact difference is bigger than I thought.

      I feel that a lot of posts lately have been very “ugly” in terms of data representation. Dunno what that’s about, or if it’s just me.

        People upvote because they like the content of the data or how it supports their agenda, while forgetting that this community is supposed to be about judging the representation of it specifically. And that’s assuming they’re even paying attention to the community name in the first place, which many may not be.

        It’s been a perennial issue both here and in r/dataisbeautiful as long as I can remember.

    Measuring nutritional value on a single good/bad axis will always give a very misleading picture, especially if you don’t specify how it’s measured. You can choose reasonable metrics to make that axis look however you want.

    For anyone interested, they used Nutri-Score for this plot.

      Nutri score just looks at the kCal and fat/carb/prot distribution.

      So it really isn’t about the quality of the food, but just about how “balanced” it is.
