Fat and
Obese People can bring the end of the human race by exhausting our entire food supply,
a recent study conducted.
Experts are
concerned with the increase of obese people that will reduce the supply of
food.
The study
concludes that it will lead to global
hunger and can lead to environmental
catastrophe.
The study
was conducted by London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine said
"battling rising population weight is vital for “food security”.
World's food
source is already at risk when the global inhabitants increase by 2.3 billion
people by 2050 according to the United Nations.
Prof Ian
Roberts, who supervised the research, said: “Everyone accepts that population
growth threatens global environmental sustainability.
“Our study
shows population fatness is also a major threat. Unless we tackle both
population and fatness our chances are slim.”
The Earth's
mature citizens weight an enormous 287 million tons and 15 million tons is because of obesity. 55.6% of the people in
Europe are overweight. The average size of UK population is (75kg) according to
UN and World Health Organization data while overall population is just (62kg).
Most
noticeable is the rapid increase of obese persons in China which reaches to
around 100 million which is equivalent to nearly eight per cent of the total
population.
