According to the study, more than one tenth of the world
population is obese, “The rise is being driven by increasing urbanisation, the
growth of sedentary, office-based lifestyles and the substitution of
Western-style fast foods for traditional diets.”
The study concluded that rising populations and rising rates
of obesity spell trouble when it comes to feeding an ever growing population.
Especially when you look at the other end of the spectrum, at the countries
that due to political and economic strife can’t seem to feed their people.
How would they know North Korea has the thinnest people. As if they can actually go there to survey?
