Gravitas: Over 42 million UK adults will be overweight by 2040

Estimates say that 7 out of 10 people in the UK will be obese or overweight by 2040. At least 21 million people will be obese, which is 36% of the adult population. What is the government of Boris Johnson doing to prevent this crisis? Nothing.
Palki Sharma has the details.

Stealing and eating share of poor countries
Karma has its own ways to Act

By 2050 UK population would be estimated 75 million so that's basically half, fat acceptance movement is doing what it intended! Obesity and chronic back pain for all!

If you look at the UK/British people decades ago from the late 1970's to 80's, they were healthy, lean, fit and thin here?!!...

Obesity is a major concern in the western countries

[isaacwhull]

it looks like the world is going to be dieting real soon.

[mobrown]

It’s all the processed food in the UK, it’s hard to find fresh food lol

[peterm]

Just wait until the food crisis starts, this issue will be fixed very fast. Around 2024 maybe.

[VivaVictory]

With global food scarcity looking ever more likely, I think the 2040 prediction regarding UK obesity percentages could be unreliable.

[JC-zgsp]

Home cooked vegetarian meal and yoga is the solution

[TheClearchoice]

We need to keep the government out of our business plain and simple if somebody knows that is unhealthy to eat junk food and they want to keep eating junk food then let them

[walkislife]

i remembered back in the days when you get made fun of for being fat, but nowadays if you call it out you are some phobic. it's the society's fault for accepting it.

[saipranay]

Thanks to PUTIN 😎 MCDONALD'S walkout from 🇷🇺 volunterly and many American food chains r on same drill... Russians are lucky 😂

[stevebowels]

You have to put effort into being fit
If you just live a normal lifestyle eating chocolates crisps coca cola you will end up fat at some point

[terrathunderstorms]

It's next to illegal to offend someone in the UK. They don't have the social tools.

[utkarshmangal]

Once again capatilism won against human life.

[babureddy]

This is a universal problem. Blame it on modern lifestyle.

[dextermorganbloodspattersp]

Every obese person I've observed moves in ultra slow motion, walking, reaching for things ect ect . If they were to speed up every movement even ten percent, they would lose weight 🤔 you eat fast food therefore you must be fast ... so hurry up

How do you get fat, no discipline.

You only get one life don't fuk it up.
