There is no country in the world where obesity is not increasing.


Dr. Stephen Roessner, a scientist from Sweden and President of the International Association for the Study of Obesity: "There is no country in the world where obesity is not increasing. Even in (developing) countries we thought were immune (such as Zimbabwe and Gambia), the epidemic is coming on very fast. The frightening thing is that so far nobody has succeeded to stop it."
