What’s getting in your way?
April 17th, 2011 by Isolde Norris
Why is the diet industry a multi-billion dollar industry and yet obesity is on the rise globally?
These facts from the World Health Organisation (WHO) are sobering:
- Worldwide obesity has more than doubled since 1980
- In 2008, 1.5 billion adults, 20 and older, were overweight. Of these over 200 million men and nearly 300 million women were obese
- 65% of the world’s population live in countries where being overweight and obesity kills more people than being underweight
- Nearly 43 million children under the age of five were overweight in 2010
(http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs311/en/)
WHO state in the same factsheet that at least 2.8 million adults die each year as a result of being overweight or obese.
The really shocking fact however is that obesity is preventable! So why are we racing towards it with open arms?
