Explode the bounds

You were able to transform the list-like column successfully, but you are not satisfied with the steps you had to take. You want to find an easier way to get the same reshaped DataFrame.

You remembered what you learned about exploding list-like columns, and you will apply a new strategy.

The same DataFrame obesity is available in your session. It contains the country, perc_obesity, and the column bounds with the minimum and maximum values you can find in different parts of the same country.
