This source speaks about the findings of the World Obesity Federation’s 2023 atlas, which predicts that over 4 billion people, or 51% of the world’s population, will be obese by 2035. The report shows that rates of obesity are rising particularly quickly among children and in lower-income countries. The source does a good job emphasizing the seriousness of the issue and the need for action to prevent obesity from becoming an even greater public health concern in the future.

More than half of the world's population will be overweight or obese by 2035 without significant action, according to a new report.

The World Obesity Federation's 2023 atlas predicts that 51% of the world, or more than 4 billion people, will be obese or overweight within the next 12 years.

Rates of obesity are rising particularly quickly among children and in lower-income countries, the report found.

Describing the data as a "clear warning," Louise Baur, president of the World Obesity Federation, said that policymakers needed to act now to prevent the situation worsening.

"It is particularly worrying to see obesity rates rising fastest among children and adolescents," she said in a statement.

"Governments and policymakers around the world need to do all they can to avoid passing health, social and economic costs on to the younger generation."

The report found that childhood obesity could more than double from 2020 levels, to 208 million boys and 175 million girls by 2035.

The cost to society is significant as a result of the health conditions linked to being overweight, the federation said: more than $4 trillion annually by 2035, or 3% of global GDP.

However, the authors said they were not blaming individuals, but calling for a focus on the societal, environmental and biological factors involved in the conditions.

The report uses body mass index (BMI) for its assessments, a number calculated by dividing a person's weight in kilograms by their height in meters squared. In line with the World Health Organization's guidelines, a BMI score over 25 is overweight and over 30 is obese.

In 2020, 2.6 billion people fell into these categories, or 38% of the world's population.

The report also found that almost all of the countries expected to see the greatest increases in obesity in the coming years are low- or middle-income countries in Asia and Africa.

The data will be presented to United Nations policymakers and member states next week.

The article discusses a study from the Yale University's Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity, which shows that unhealthy food and drink endorsements by professional athletes and celebrities contribute to childhood and teen obesity. The article highlights the role of advertising in promoting unhealthy eating habits among young people. The article does well to acknowledge the issue of advertising's impact on young people's health but is biased towards a negative view of food advertising and does not acknowledge personal responsibility in making healthy choices.

Obesity is a growing public health concern. I already know that obsesity it is defined as having a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, and that it can lead to a range of health problems, including heart disease which is the number one killer in the US. Obesity is caused by a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors, such as poor diet, lack of exercise, and stress. Obesity rates are rising in certain groups like low-income and minority populations. This is most likely due to socioeconomic reasons. In order to combat obesity, people need to be educated on healthy choices before suffering the consequences of it.

If people remain indifferent to the obesity epidemic, the consequences could be dire. Obesity-related health problems, such as heart disease, stroke, and diabetes, could become even more widespread, leading to increased healthcare costs and reduced quality of life for millions of people. The  impact of the food industry could continue also worsen, contributing to the decline of healthy teenagers. Most of my sources shared a common solution which is to continue to stress the importance of a healthy diet and exercise. If we don't take action to address the obesity epidemic, the consequences could be devastating for individuals, society, and the  country as a whole.

This article discusses the rise of obesity as a major public health concern in the United States and its links to a range of cancers. Obesity has become the leading cause of preventable deaths in the country. The International Agency for Research on Cancer and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have identified 13 types of cancer that are linked to overweight and obesity, including cancers of the esophagus, liver, gallbladder, colon, and breast. I appreciate that this source goes into detail about how legislation and healthcare practitioners fail to assist in aiding the amount individuals struggling with weight loss. Regardless of the source's strong language, the article does well to highlight the seriousness of the issue and the need for action to prevent obesity and its associated cancers.
