More than half of the global population will be overweight or obese by 2035 if action is not taken on the issue, according to a new report.
The World Obesity Foundation released its fifth annual atlas on the global status of obesity this week, predicting that 51 percent of the global population — about 4 billion people — will be obese or overweight in 12 years. The report also said that from 2020 to 2035, the share of the world’s population considered to be obese will increase from 14 to 24 percent.
In 2020, 38 percent of the world population was considered overweight or obese, according to the report.
The report also found that obesity rates are expected to rise the most among children and adolescents, predicting they will increase from 10 percent to 20 percent among boys and 8 percent to 18 percent among girls from 2020 to 203

Now the Dims claim poverty leads to being too fat.
Obese by 2035?
That’s a long range goal right there.
I could be obese but 2024 no problem.
And it takes serious money to be skinny lol.
I doubt it. Food supply is radically decreasing due to government actions around the world. Populations get fat when food is plentiful and thus cheap and get thin when it is expensive and not so plentiful.
Bring on the bug burgers /s
Corn-syrup slop will always be cheap, real food is what is getting more and more expensive.
The elephant in the room is we don’t eat natural food anymore. It’s all factory processed with preservatives and who knows what else? But let’s blame the consumers because shut up.
Not written by a reporter. Is anything written by a reporter anymore?
I guess the world hunger problem is solved now?
I think that’s good news for hungry aliens.
Thanks, Rod Serling!
Think of all the experts who have been wrong. In the sixties by nineteen seventy we were going to be out of oil and in a new ice age. Then there was “peak oil.” Then China was going to have billions of people and now, by midcentury their population is predicted to be half as large as it is now. Oh, and don’t forget we were going to have flying cars and moving sidewalks by 1960. When I was a kid I thought that by 1970 everyone would be so fat they’d all need electric carts to move around. Today I was getting breakfast at a crowded gas station. Yes, there were some fat people there. (All black women, by the way.) But there was an equal number of well-muscled workmen, also black, as well. The smattering of white people were neither fat, nor thin; just “average.” I started paying attention to the builds around me when I noticed the black man in front of me had forearms beefier than my thighs.
I thought we were all going to starve to death by next year?
I ate three copies of Ehrlich’s Population Bomb for lunch. I should have stopped at two.
Carbs. Almost everything is just carbs.
As long as we all don’t go traveling to Guam it’s not a problem.

Our growing ubiquitous screen culture, climate controlled buildings and a massive decrease in strenuous physical labor. The poor are the most likely to be obese, the rich are the most likely to be thin.
It would make for a pretty good sci-fi story 100 years ago.

If covid nor the jab gets dem, the double stuffed everything on it pizza will;-)
That beats not so long ago when half were hungry.
