BBC – Jules Montague

More than 1.9 billion human adults are overweight. Of these, more than 650 million are obese – that’s about 13% of the world’s adult human population. The worldwide prevalence of obesity has nearly tripled since 1975. And childhood obesity has risen alarmingly too – an estimated 41 million children under the age of five are overweight or obese. http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20190109-what-we-can-learn-from-overweight-pets-about-human-obesity
