New Study Says Obese People are Depleting the Earth’s Resources

According to a new study by scientists in London, if you’re fat you might be helping deplete the planet of its “finite resources”. The BMC Public Health Journal published the findings which conclude that “Increasing population fatness could have the same implications for world food energy demands as an extra half a billion people living on the earth.”

Of course the findings concluded that Americans are the real bad guys, weighing down the planet the most. The extra “fatness” of Americans is apparently equivalent to the energy use of an additional 473 million adults on the planet.

In conclusion, the study stated that “Tackling population fatness may be critical to world food security and ecological sustainability.” We’re sure New York Mayor, Michael Bloomberg, would agree.

So this summer, be happy that your diet which is making you look better in your swimsuit is also helping to save the planet as well! You can read more on this at CBS Atlanta: http://atlanta.cbslocal.com/2012/06/21/study-obesity-could-lead-to-depletion-of-earths-resources/
