Because all these counties appear to be deep Red.

Those counties/states are Black.
Blacks have a higher obesity rate than whites.

I don't know if that's true. But accepting for a moment that it is, then we can refer to this snippet from your link:

What Causes These Disparities?
Although the exact causes of these differences in obesity are not all known, they likely in part reflect differences in social and economic advantage related to race or ethnicity (12). This concept aligns with other, more general statements about health disparities explaining that disparities are “closely linked with social, economic, and/or environmental disadvantage” and show the effect where groups of people “have systematically experienced greater social and/or economic obstacles to health . . . based on their racial or ethnic group” (13).

And that brings us back to Politics.

The presence of a few counties from other regions, like Alaska, Nebraska, and Ohio, underscores the widespread nature of this issue.

When @BKR88 comes to the USA to see Mickey Mouse and listen to rock and roll music he is in for a surprise. As happens to Americans who have lived abroad for a spell and come back.
