This visualization displays the 80 countries with the highest obesity rates in 2014, ranked from highest to lowest using horizontal bars. The data is loaded from a CSV file via the `d3.csv` method, then sorted with `d3.descending` before being sliced to the top 80 entries. The chart is built using the Vega-Lite API (via `vega-lite-api`), with `markBar`, `vl.y().fieldQ('value')`, and `vl.x().fieldN('Country').sort('-y')` for encoding. Custom axis and label styling is applied through the `config` object.
