The world is getting fatter by the day and in the next 25 years over half of us could be overweight or obese, a new study published in The Lancet journal has warned. Not that this can't be reversed, but it would demand a series of bold and drastic measures to slow the obesity rates and prevent a looming epidemic of chronic diseases.
The global study covering more than 200 countries is a stark reminder that not taking urgent action or active steps to curb obesity can likely lead to early deaths, disease, and burden already vulnerable healthcare systems.
