Summary

A Lancet report warns that by 2050, more than half of adults (3.8 billion) and a third of children worldwide will be overweight or obese, straining healthcare systems and increasing early deaths.

Currently, 2.11 billion adults and 493 million young people are affected. The crisis is most severe in China, India, and the U.S.

Obesity is rising faster among children, increasing risks of diabetes and heart disease.

Experts urge global public health interventions, especially in lower-income countries with limited healthcare resources.

Crappy food is more affordable. I'd love to eat healthy if it didn't cost so much more. Plus I'm getting as much mileage out of this above average metabolism as I can for as long as it lasts, it's still got a little juice left.

P.S. if anyone swoops in to prove me wrong and drops some healthy but also just as affordable eating tips I won't even be mad.
