UK Is Second Fattest Nation In The World

Guess who's #1?

"NEARLY two thirds of Britons are overweight and the proportion will keep rising in the next decade, according to a report.

The national obesity crisis means the UK is now the second “heaviest” nation in the world after the United States.


The report’s author, Franco Sassi, said: “There is a frightening increase in the epidemic. We’ve not reached the plateau yet.”
Statistics from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development show that two out of three British men are overweight and a quarter of the population is classed as obese.
But the proportion of overweight people is predicted to rise 10 per cent in the next 10 years to nearly 70 per cent."
