Data-scientist who loves to use #datascienceforgood, especially in ecology, energy and the environment. Bonsai, gardening, bikes and music when I'm not at a keyboard.
I've watched this exact problem happen so many times as I've worked. It's so hard to fight as well. Once your palate shifts over to high salt, high sugar, high fat Viz, it's hard to change back to whole meal, high fibre data. Data needs to drive decision and action.
That's why I've found 'low viz' data communication methods so interesting recently. Natural language output, categorical decision delivery, binary yes no icons. That's what's been driving my work recently.

I thoroughly love your commitment to the metaphor!
“High fat viz” is the perfect slang for the stuff that’s being relied upon.
