Introduction
Yogurt, the humble dairy product that has captivated the taste buds of millions, has long been cherished for its creamy texture and tangy flavor. But could this beloved probiotic treat hold the hidden power to sway political allegiances? In our case study of West Virginia, we embark on a journey through the nutritional and political landscapes, aiming to unravel the enigmatic connection between yogurt consumption and votes for the Republican presidential candidate.
As researchers, we were initially drawn to this peculiar topic by a combination of curiosity, a dash of whimsy, and perhaps a sprinkle of dairy-induced delirium. After all, who could resist the temptation to delve into a world where yogurt and politics collide, creating a canvas of intrigue and speculation? Our investigation, supported by data from the USDA, MIT Election Data and Science Lab, and Harvard Dataverse, unveils a correlation so compelling that it may have you questioning whether it's all just a whimsical "dairy tale".
The state of West Virginia, with its serene mountains and winding rivers, provides a fitting backdrop for our exploration. With a rich history and a diverse population, it offers a glimpse into the tapestry of America's political fabric. While one may assume that the dairy aisles of grocery stores are far removed from the ballot boxes, our findings challenge such assumptions and reveal a correlation coefficient that beckons us to question the role of yogurt in shaping political preferences. Indeed, it's an unexpected pairing – yogurt and the Republican vote – but as they say, truth is often stranger than fiction.
So, brace yourself for an academic adventure that explores the intersection of dairy delights and democratic decisions. We assure you, this investigation is no mere flight of fancy – it's a rigorous examination of the "culture" of yogurt consumption and its potential influence on political leanings. As we peel back the layers of this "dairy tale", be prepared to confront questions that may have you pondering the deeper implications of your next spoonful of probiotic goodness. And fear not, dear reader, for we promise that no yogurt cups were harmed in the making of this research – a testament to our commitment to both scientific inquiry and dairy diplomacy.
In the chapters that follow, we will delve into the methodology, data analysis, and, of course, the tantalizing findings that promise to add a touch of "culture" to the discourse on political behavior. Let's embark on this savory, yet unexpected, journey through the yogurt-filled landscape of West Virginia's political terrain.

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
The nexus between yogurt consumption and political allegiance is not merely a dalliance of dairy delirium, but a subject that has piqued the curiosity of researchers from various academic domains. Smith et al. in "Yogurt Yields: Exploring the Intersection of Dairy and Democracy" and Doe's comprehensive work "The Curious Case of Yogurt and Republican Votes" provide seminal investigations into this unconventional association. Their rigorous analyses lay the groundwork for unraveling the enigmatic link between yogurt gobbling and Republican vote wobbling in West Virginia.
Turning to non-fiction accounts, Pollan's "The Omnivore's Dilemma" and Nestle's "Food Politics: How the Food Industry Influences Nutrition and Health" offer intriguing insights into the intricate dynamics of food consumption and its impact on societal phenomena. As we traverse the landscape of dietary choices and political inclinations, these works serve as compass points, guiding us through the labyrinthine interplay of tastes and votes.
Venturing into the realm of fiction, Orwell's "Animal Farm" and Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale" beckon us to contemplate the allegorical dimensions of political symbolism, albeit in settings far removed from dairy aisles and ballot boxes. Such literary forays remind us that truth often mirrors fiction, and that the whims of politics can manifest in the unlikeliest of places – perhaps even in the creamy confines of a yogurt cup.
Humbly acknowledging the diverse sources that inform our inquiry, we must confess to an unconventional approach to literature review – one that shuns the confines of traditional journals and scholarly tomes. For, in our relentless pursuit of unearthing the unexpected, we sought enlightenment in the most unassuming of places: the hallowed halls of grocery store aisles, where the backs of yogurt containers and the labels of probiotic supplements regaled us with tales of nutrition and, unsuspectingly, electoral proclivities.
Thus, we extend our gratitude to the scholarly pursuits that paved the way for our investigation, while acknowledging the whimsical detours that enriched our academic sojourn. With a spoonful of humor and a dollop of irreverence, we stand poised to present the findings of our unorthodox yet illuminating exploration – a saga that promises to demystify the "culture" of yogurt consumption and its potential influence on political leanings.

Statistical Analysis:
Ah, statistical analysis – the bread and butter of any research endeavor, or in our case, the yogurt and granola. Our approach involved employing advanced statistical methods, including correlation analysis, regression models, and perhaps a touch of wishful thinking. We calculated correlation coefficients, p-values, and confidence intervals with mathematical precision, akin to crafting the perfect yogurt parfait with just the right balance of fruit and crunch.
Robustness Checks:
To ensure the robustness of our findings, we performed sensitivity analyses and robustness checks, akin to scrutinizing a batch of yogurt for its texture and tanginess. We meticulously tested different specifications and model assumptions, validating our results to withstand the scrutiny of the most discerning palates within the scientific community.
Ethical Considerations:
As diligent researchers, we meticulously adhered to ethical guidelines, ensuring the utmost respect for data privacy and integrity.

[[RESULTS]]
The analysis of the data on yogurt consumption and votes for the Republican presidential candidate in West Virginia yielded some truly "gouda" (or should we say "yogur-tastic"?) results. The correlation coefficient of 0.9252699 indicated a remarkably strong positive relationship between these seemingly unrelated variables. In other words, as yogurt consumption increased, so did the likelihood of voting for the Republican candidate. It seems that the power of probiotics may extend beyond the digestive system and into the realm of political allegiance!
Furthermore, the r-squared value of 0.8561243 suggested that a substantial proportion of the variability in Republican votes can be explained by changes in yogurt consumption. This finding left us in a state of utter "dairy-wonder", as we marveled at the unexpected convergence of dairy indulgence and political preferences.
The p-value being less than 0.01 added an extra layer of assurance to our findings, indicating that this correlation is highly unlikely to be a fluke. Indeed, the probability of such a strong relationship occurring by chance is lower than the likelihood of finding a moldy yogurt cup at the back of the refrigerator – in other words, highly improbable!
To visually represent this striking correlation, we present Fig. 1, a scatterplot that showcases the pronounced association between yogurt consumption and votes for the Republican presidential candidate in West Virginia. The data points align themselves in a way that might make one wonder if there's some sort of "yogurt-fueled magnetic force" at play here.
In summary, our exploration into the dairy-laden world of yogurt consumption and political preference in West Virginia has uncovered a relationship that is as "udderly" surprising as it is thought-provoking. The evidence suggests that perhaps there's more to yogurt than meets the spoon – it could very well be a symbol of political affiliation, a potential "culture" marker, or just a delightful coincidence that adds a whimsical twist to the political palate.

Venturing into the realm of fiction, Orwell's "Animal Farm" and Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale" beckon us to contemplate the allegorical dimensions of political symbolism, albeit in settings far removed from dairy aisles and ballot boxes. Such literary forays remind us that truth often mirrors fiction, and that the whims of politics can manifest in the unlikeliest of places – perhaps even in the creamy confines of a yogurt cup.
Humbly acknowledging the diverse sources that inform our inquiry, we must confess to an unconventional approach to literature review – one that shuns the confines of traditional journals and scholarly tomes. For, in our relentless pursuit of unearthing the unexpected, we sought enlightenment in the most unassuming of places: the hallowed halls of grocery store aisles, where the backs of yogurt containers and the labels of probiotic supplements regaled us with tales of nutrition and, unsuspectingly, electoral proclivities.
Thus, we extend our gratitude to the scholarly pursuits that paved the way for our investigation, while acknowledging the whimsical detours that enriched our academic sojourn. With a spoonful of humor and a dollop of irreverence, we stand poised to present the findings of our unorthodox yet illuminating exploration – a saga that promises to demystify the "culture" of yogurt consumption and its potential influence on political leanings.
[[RESULTS]]
The analysis of the data on yogurt consumption and votes for the Republican presidential candidate in West Virginia yielded some truly "gouda" (or should we say "yogur-tastic"?) results. The correlation coefficient of 0.9252699 indicated a remarkably strong positive relationship between these seemingly unrelated variables. In other words, as yogurt consumption increased, so did the likelihood of voting for the Republican candidate. It seems that the power of probiotics may extend beyond the digestive system and into the realm of political allegiance!
Furthermore, the r-squared value of 0.8561243 suggested that a substantial proportion of the variability in Republican votes can be explained by changes in yogurt consumption. This finding left us in a state of utter "dairy-wonder", as we marveled at the unexpected convergence of dairy indulgence and political preferences.
The p-value being less than 0.01 added an extra layer of assurance to our findings, indicating that this correlation is highly unlikely to be a fluke. Indeed, the probability of such a strong relationship occurring by chance is lower than the likelihood of finding a moldy yogurt cup at the back of the refrigerator – in other words, highly improbable!
To visually represent this striking correlation, we present Fig. 1, a scatterplot that showcases the pronounced association between yogurt consumption and votes for the Republican presidential candidate in West Virginia. The data points align themselves in a way that might make one wonder if there's some sort of "yogurt-fueled magnetic force" at play here.
In summary, our exploration into the dairy-laden world of yogurt consumption and political preference in West Virginia has uncovered a relationship that is as "udderly" surprising as it is thought-provoking. The evidence suggests that perhaps there's more to yogurt than meets the spoon – it could very well be a symbol of political affiliation, a potential "culture" marker, or just a delightful coincidence that adds a whimsical twist to the political palate.

Correlation is a measure of how much the variables move together. If it is 0.99, when one goes up the other goes up. If it is 0.02, the connection is very weak or non-existent. If it is -0.99, then when one goes up the other goes down. If it is 1.00, you probably messed up your correlation function.
r2 = 0.8561243 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 85.6% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Votes for the Republican Presidential candidate in West Virginia) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Yogurt consumption) over the 8 years from 1990 through 2020.
p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 0.00099. 0.0009857408776685040000000000
The p-value is a measure of how probable it is that we would randomly find a result this extreme. More specifically the p-value is a measure of how probable it is that we would randomly find a result this extreme if we had only tested one pair of variables one time.
But I am a p-villain. I absolutely did not test only one pair of variables one time. I correlated hundreds of millions of pairs of variables. I threw boatloads of data into an industrial-sized blender to find this correlation.
Who is going to stop me? p-value reporting doesn't require me to report how many calculations I had to go through in order to find a low p-value!
On average, you will find a correaltion as strong as 0.93 in 0.099% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 1,014 random variables Which I absolutely did.
with the same 7 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 7 because we have two variables measured over a period of 8 years. It's just the number of years minus ( the number of variables minus one ), which in this case simplifies to the number of years minus one.
you would randomly expect to find a correlation as strong as this one.
[ 0.63, 0.99 ] 95% correlation confidence interval (using the Fisher z-transformation)
The confidence interval is an estimate the range of the value of the correlation coefficient, using the correlation itself as an input. The values are meant to be the low and high end of the correlation coefficient with 95% confidence.
This one is a bit more complciated than the other calculations, but I include it because many people have been pushing for confidence intervals instead of p-value calculations (for example: NEJM. However, if you are dredging data, you can reliably find yourself in the 5%. That's my goal!
All values for the years included above: If I were being very sneaky, I could trim years from the beginning or end of the datasets to increase the correlation on some pairs of variables. I don't do that because there are already plenty of correlations in my database without monkeying with the years.
Still, sometimes one of the variables has more years of data available than the other. This page only shows the overlapping years. To see all the years, click on "See what else correlates with..." link above.
1992 | 1996 | 2000 | 2004 | 2008 | 2012 | 2016 | 2020 | |
Yogurt consumption (Pounds per person) | 4.4 | 5.9 | 6.5 | 9.2 | 11.7 | 14 | 13.7 | 13.6 |
Votes for the Republican Presidential candidate in West Virginia (Percentage of votes) | 35.393 | 36.7574 | 51.9152 | 56.0707 | 55.7103 | 62.2958 | 68.6306 | 68.6316 |
Why this works
- Data dredging: I have 25,153 variables in my database. I compare all these variables against each other to find ones that randomly match up. That's 632,673,409 correlation calculations! This is called “data dredging.” Instead of starting with a hypothesis and testing it, I instead abused the data to see what correlations shake out. It’s a dangerous way to go about analysis, because any sufficiently large dataset will yield strong correlations completely at random.
- Lack of causal connection: There is probably
Because these pages are automatically generated, it's possible that the two variables you are viewing are in fact causually related. I take steps to prevent the obvious ones from showing on the site (I don't let data about the weather in one city correlate with the weather in a neighboring city, for example), but sometimes they still pop up. If they are related, cool! You found a loophole.
no direct connection between these variables, despite what the AI says above. This is exacerbated by the fact that I used "Years" as the base variable. Lots of things happen in a year that are not related to each other! Most studies would use something like "one person" in stead of "one year" to be the "thing" studied. - Observations not independent: For many variables, sequential years are not independent of each other. If a population of people is continuously doing something every day, there is no reason to think they would suddenly change how they are doing that thing on January 1. A simple
Personally I don't find any p-value calculation to be 'simple,' but you know what I mean.
p-value calculation does not take this into account, so mathematically it appears less probable than it really is. - Very low n: There are not many data points included in this analysis. Even if the p-value is high, we should be suspicious of using so few datapoints in a correlation.
