More than HALF of world's 8billion people will be overweight
by 2035, damning report warns - so how many will be fat in
YOUR country?
Figure is forecast to soar from 2.6bn (38%) in 2020 to 4bn
(51%) in 12 years
. . .
So ... in one way this is a sort of celebration ...
one of the BIG BADDIES for all of human history has
been STARVATION.
Looks like that has become a minor issue now.
The flip side, well ... didja see any of those town
meetings in West Palestine OH on TV ? Almost EVERYBODY
is GIGANTIC ... I'm talking 300+ ... haven't sighted
their dicks/pussies since 1999. Most of their kids look
on the way to being gigantic too. From a health standpoint
this is just a terrible picture of the present/future.
Clearly it's not JUST a USA thing either.
Humans are kinda biologically "programmed" to get fat.
It's a holdover from the feast/famine days while wandering
the grasslands. We're wired for THAT reality on many
levels. (Sad bit is that a WW3 or something COULD return
us to that sort of life).
MAYBE medical science can find a perfect tweak ... MAYbe
... but it's ain't gonna be tomorrow, or likely for a
good decade or two or three. By then we'll have two thirds
of the world's pop needing quadruple bypasses and worse FAST.
