Now scientists say being FAT causes global warming
Staying slim is good for the planet, according to two UK researchers who concluded that because food production has a big impact on global warming, a lean population such as that of Vietnam will eat nearly 20 per cent less food and produce fewer greenhouse gases than populations where 40 per cent of people are obese (close to that of the United States today).
London, April 20 : Staying slim is good news for the environment as it helps to keep our planet healthy. Food output is directly linked to global warming, and a leaner population will consume almost 20 percent less food, a new study has found.
Staying slim is not only beneficial for you but it's also good for the planet, say scientists. Scientists at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine's department of epidemiology and population health say food production is a major contributor to global warming.
