Too Many Fat Porkers In UK & USA

[Major]

By Laura Donnelly, Health Correspondent, and Andrew Marszal

More than three-quarters of people in some English towns are overweight or obese, as couch potato lifestyles and unhealthy diets become the norm, official statistics have found.
For the first time, England-wide data reveals the fattest and thinnest parts of England and the scale of the obesity crisis.
Overall, 64 per cent of adults in England are overweight or obese - with a body mass index (BMI) of 25 or over.
Copeland in west Cumbria is the fattest local authority area (75.9 per cent) followed by Doncaster, South Yorkshire, (74.4 per cent) East Lindsey, Lincolnshire (73.8 per cent), Ryedale, North Yorkshire (73.7 per cent), and Sedgemoor in Somerset (73.4 per cent).
Tam Fry, of the National Obesity Forum and chairman of the Child Growth Foundation, said the figures were “almost criminal” and that he feared that in some parts of the country the probem had become “insurmountable”.

It was only 5.9% until Aziz moved there.

If ya do not have proof, then make ASSUMPTIONS, MAKE IT UP, which is a typical site owner/mod system.

It seems stooo has got it in for me already.

Already? I've known you for years...

I have a fan, a dumb one but a fan nevertheless.

This is one of the advantages that state run economies like N Korea and Venezuela have. Low obesity levels.

More than 2.2 billion people are “either near or living in poverty,” according to the United Nations Development Report released July 24.The study also found that about 1.2 billion people survive on the equivalent of $1.25 or less a day, while 12 percent of the world’s population (842 million people) suffer from chronic hunger.

These conditions of global suffering and deprivation are not due to any absolute shortage of resources. The world economy produces enough to provide a decent standard of living for every man, woman and child. But the distribution of wealth makes this impossible: the 85 wealthiest people in the world own as much as the 3.5 billion poorest people combined.

Nor reading apparently since poverty is substantially defined in the post...

...about 1.2 billion people survive on the equivalent of $1.25 or less a day, while 12 percent of the world’s population (842 million people) suffer from chronic hunger.

If you think I read all the bollocks that you post you're mistaken.
