Study: It's a fat world, after all

Who knew?

"If current trends hold, more than half the world's population will be overweight or obese by 2030, U.S. researchers say.

Their study, published in the International Journal of Obesity, found one-third of the world's population is already considered overweight or obese...

The study finds that as of 2005, approximately 23.2 percent of the world's adult population was overweight and 9.8 percent was obese. Roughly 937 million adults were overweight and 396 million were obese. If those trends continue, the number of overweight individuals will more than double to 2.16 billion by 2030 and the number of obese adults will grow to 1.12 billion during the same time period."

This was clearly impossible to see coming.
