From this morning YAHOO news, "Already, six percent of health costs in the WHO's European region, which includes Central Asia, come from obesity in adults, the organization's data show.
In 1992 obesity cost France $12.1 billion in direct costs alone, while in 2000 obese and overweight people cost the state of California $22 billion, including indirect costs, Shekar said.
Obesity is also expected to reduce life expectancy, which could have a knock-on effect on the economy. A recent UK study forecast men would live five years less by 2050 if current trends were not reversed."
What I don't understand why those news people talk about anAmerican Fat Beauty. There is more fat, obese (not feeling well, not want to do much) people in this country then take all countries together. For some strange reason they always talking about other countries, like Europe where people are much skinner and healthy and they do have HEALTH INSURANCE!
