The Earth, and People's Clothes, are Under GREAT Pressure!

Many ancient cultures believed that the earth is flat. Today, cultures know that the earth is not flat... but it is FAT. In fact, the earth has more weight pressure on it than ever before! More than 2 billion adults and children globally are overweight or obese and suffer health problems because of their weight, according to a recent study published in the New England Journal of Medicine. This equates to one-third of the world's population carrying excess weight, which is fueled by urbanization, poor diets and reduced physical activity. In fact, obesity levels have risen in all countries, irrespective of their income level. The United States has the greatest percentage of obese children and young adults, and obesity levels are higher among women than men across all age groups. The researchers analyzed data from over 68 million people between 1980 and 2015 to explore trends as well as figures regarding overweight and obesity rates.

Is America Sinking In Obesity?

Is the BIG issue of obesity sinking into the brains of Americans, or is America simply sinking under the increasingly alarming weight of its citizens? Based on recent information from the Centers for Disease Control and other prominent organizations, statistics show that in the United States 16.5 percent of children ages two to 19 are overweight and 9.9 percent are obese. Since 1980, obesity has more than doubled across the entire global population. If current trends continue, 70 million children will be at risk of being overweight or obese by 2025 -- only 9 years from now.
