2 Trillion
A report by the McKinney Global says that the global cost of obesity has cost around $2 trillion US annually nearly as much as smoking or the combined impact of armed violence, war and terrorism. The report released Thursday focused on the economics of obesity and says 2.1 billion people some 30% of the global population are overweight and Obese. McKinney says there's no single or simple solution to the problem, but disagreement on how to move forward is not helping the progress. The analysis is meant to offer a starting point on the elements of a possible start.
