In this project I make sweets seem healthier than fruits by presenting actual data in a way that is not representative of the truth.
You seem to have put a great deal of thought into crafting your lies, taking those rules of data representation into account and deliberately violating them. As a result, your outcome convincingly and "honestly" conveys misleading data. I wonder if you could have gone even further, taking serving size into account and showing a square millimeter compared to entire fruits. That may have been too much. Regardless, I feel you did well creating your work.
I really liked the representation of your graph. When I first saw it I did question to what extent were you measuring the sugar in the volume (per serving size? per volume? etc.) but at a glance it does make it it seem that fruit on average has a higher sugar content. If I was revising this myself, I'd probably looking for a specific dimension that fruit has more sugar than candies in, to make the data more convincing.
You've made a legit lie. When I first see your graph I'm pretty shock by the amount of sugar in fruit rather than in candies, although at a second glance I noticed you didn't mention what amount of food are you considering in each bar. I really like and agree with your claim that people tend to consider sugar simple an unhealthy part of food.
