As if fitting into your skinny jeans wasn't motivation enough, staying slim could also help the environment, according to scientists. Researchers at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine claim in a study published today that leaner populations will produce fewer greenhouse gases due to food production when compared to populations in which 40 percent of people are obese.
