10,000 treated in hospital for being dangerously fat as admissions rise TENFOLD in a decade

It has to be an infection or something like that, eh?

The number of patients needing urgent treatment because they are overweight has risen tenfold in the last decade.

Official figures published today reveal the scale of Britain’s obesity crisis.

Some 10,571 patients were admitted to hospital last year because doctors feared they were so fat that their health was in immediate danger.

Kudos, fatsos.
