More Than Half of Humans On Track To Be Overweight or Obese By 2035, Report Finds​

More than half of the world's population will be overweight or obese by 2035 unless governments take decisive action to curb the growing epidemic of excess weight, a report has warned. About 2.6 billion people globally -- 38% of the world population -- are already overweight or obese. But on current trends that is expected to rise to more than 4 billion people (51%) in 12 years' time, according to research by the World Obesity Federation.

Without widespread use of tactics such as taxes and limits on the promotion of unhealthy food, the number of people who are clinically obese will increase from one in seven today to one in four by 2035. If that happens, almost 2 billion people worldwide would be living with obesity. Those with a body mass index (BMI) of 25 are judged to be overweight, while people whose BMI is at least 30 are deemed to be obese. Evidence shows that obesity increases someone's risk of cancer, heart disease and other diseases.

Obesity among children and young people is on course to increase faster than among adults. By 2035 it is expected to be at least double the rate seen in 2020, according to the federation's latest annual World Obesity Atlas report. It is expected to rise by 100% among boys under 18, leaving 208 million affected, but go up even more sharply -- by 125% -- among girls the same age, which would see 175 million of them affected. [...] The federation's report also highlights that many of the world's poorest countries are facing the sharpest increases in obesity yet are the least well prepared to confront the disease. Nine of the 10 countries set to experience the biggest rises in coming years are low- or middle-income nations in Africa and Asia.

Yes and no. The FDA allows a lot of unhealthy shyt to be approved even in so called "healthy" foods. From the way they are process to how live stock is handled, our food is meant to handle and profit off of millions, not provide a healthy serving. Food is similar to drugs. The addiction is real and those addictions come from additives and preservatives that are put in our foods. There's a reason why so many more people are growing their own crops today.


But yes, there's a lot of blame to be pointed at the consumers. All the shyt they eat is just


Start seeing food as fuel and not taste and eat with that mindstate, you'll be able to break the addiction and live healthy.

A lot to blame, but modern lifestyles ain’t helping either. Spent 200k years as nomads, hunters, gatherers, agriculturalists, and the past 80 behind desks all day.

People need to be more active. Take walks, jog, lift, swim, etc etc.

People need to get enough sleep.

But nutrition is the biggest problem. The shid in our food supply isn’t in good across the pond.

I lost 15 pounds in a month in India a few years ago. My routine wasn’t anything different. I ate breakfast, I worked at our client’s office or worked out of the hotel, I exercised out at 6 PM, I ate dinner afterwards, and I slept 6-8 hours aside from trips where things were crazy.

I felt like I ate pretty good but I still dropped weight.

you probably walked more and did more to minimize food intake to keep from getting sick i know i ate less in india lol. but real shyt, i remember going to Europe for two months and lost about 10 pounds despite eating meals out, drinking wine 4-5 times/week, eating more pork than i ever had in my life (don't eat red meat anymore), and consuming tons of bread/pastries. the walking and cleaner ingredients there definitely helped.

theres enough information out there (the internet) for people to make smart choices.

people dont care about what they put in their body.
and they dont want to spend the time learning

with that said...
...there is a lot of misinformation that is perpetrated by the medicine.

case in point...
...black folks believing were predisposed to diabetes.

Uninformed doctors spread that nonsense too.

but when you tell someone its the carbs/sugar you think they'll stop eating that mess?

I agree. That's why I said yes and no. But even so called healthy foods has shyt in them that's bad just to improve and increase shelf life. You really have to dig into the ingredients and what they mean. For example, Europe just banned an additive that the FDA approves for us to eat called potassium bromate which we use in our breads and cereals. Even healthy ones.

Governments can help spread the right information by promoting specific regulations.

I have a box of eggs on my desk right now (don't ask me) that are graded A. In the last couple of years, most food items in France have been branded with such grades to help consumers evaluate easily their nutritional value

NutriScore, a Front-of-Pack Labeling System, Implemented in France

I'm pretty knowledgeable when it comes to nutrition compared to the average joe, but even I pay attention to these labels and let them orientate my choices in some cases. Most of my shyt is A, sometimes B, I try to never go below that (just buying some C shyt irks me).

It seems pretty easy to implement too.

Same thing with the regulations on advertising/commercials and shyt... There are a lot of good measures out there that can be reapplied from country to country. Most of the western world did it successfully for the tobacco industry, same principle.
