FAT IS THE NEW STARVING

Remember how we used to worry about all the starving people in the world? You’d think there would be a massive celebration if we ever solved that problem, wouldn’t you? But no... instead we are now being warned that obesity has reached pandemic proportions and threatens to bankrupt health budgets throughout the world. This is according to scientists at the 10th International Congress on Obesity, which announced that there are now more overwieight people in the world (1 billion) than there are undernourished people (800 million). And no, they didn’t report this as good news. Instead they warn that obesity is the “single greatest contributor to chronic disease throughout the world.” Some people are never satisfied.
