Obesity contributes to global warming: study

GENEVA (Reuters) – Obesity contributes to global warming, too.

Obese and overweight people require more fuel to transport them and the food they eat, and the problem will worsen as the population literally swells in size, a team at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine says.

This adds to food shortages and higher energy prices, the school’s researchers Phil Edwards and Ian Roberts wrote in the journal Lancet on Friday.

“We are all becoming heavier and it is a global responsibility,” Edwards said in a telephone interview. “Obesity is a key part of the big picture.”

At least 400 million adults worldwide are obese. The World Health Organization (WHO) projects by 2015, 2.3 billion adults will be overweight and more than 700 million will be obese.

In their model, the researchers pegged 40 percent of the global population as obese with a body mass index of near 30. Many nations are fast approaching or have surpassed this level, Edwards said.
The Clinton’s are fat food junkies so they are no good role models….

I need to treat my freshwater tropical fish for white spot and the instructions on the bottle of medicine say 1 drop for every five liters of water. Well here’s the problem: I recently bought a second hand tank And I don’t know what its volume is (aka how much water it holds). I just measured the tank and it is 1.2 meters length by 0.45 meters height by 0.44 meters depth of width. PLEASE can some one work out the volume? Or tell me how to? Please
