INDEX MUNDI-Country Facts
Helpful website with information about countries linked to the CIA World Book website. “IndexMundi is a data portal that gathers facts and statistics from multiple sources and turns them into easy to use visuals.” I love the site! I love how you can see graphs, compare two separate countries side by side and pick one topic and compare several countries.
For example, I looked up adult obesity in ten different countries all over the world. I found they ranged from the lowest at 1.1 to the highest at 74.6! Here is a link to the graph of “Adult Obesity” in every country in the World.

This information made me want to search lifestyles and food options. Call me a nerd if you want…but I got really excited thinking of all the areas I could research in order to find out the reason behind these numbers!
Check this out for yourself, and see how much fun it is!
