Over-eaters ... overweight people could end mankind, according to shock study

OVERWEIGHT people could bring about the end of mankind by gobbling up all our food stocks, a shock study claims.
Scientists fear the soaring numbers of larger people will place crippling demands on the globe’s food resources.
And they claim it could lead to mass starvation and an environmental crisis.
The study, by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, said battling rising population weight is crucial for “food security”.
Global resources are already predicted to be under threat with the world’s population set to soar by a further 2.3 billion people by 2050, according to the United Nations.
Prof Ian Roberts, who led the research, said: “Everyone accepts that population growth threatens global environmental sustainability.
“Our study shows population fatness is also a major threat. Unless we tackle both population and fatness our chances are slim.”
The world’s adult population weighs a mammoth 287 million tons — 15 million of which is due to being overweight. More than half of people living in Europe are overweight (55.6 per cent).
Brits’ average weight is 11st 11lbs (75kg) according to UN and World Health Organisation data — compared to the average global weight of 9st 11lbs (62kg).
But obesity rates in China have surged over the years with up to 100 million people classified as obese — or nearly eight per cent of the population.
