Obese people are contributing to the world food crisis and climate change.
Obese blamed for the world's ills
The London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine calculated the obese consume 18% more calories than average. They are also responsible for using more fuel, which has an environmental impact and drives up food prices as transport and agriculture both use oil. The result is that the poor struggle to afford food and greenhouse gas emissions rise, the Lancet reported. It comes as the World Health Organization predicts the obese population will double by 2015 to 700m. In the UK, nearly a quarter of adults are classed obese, twice as many as there were in the 1980s.

"it is discriminatory towards obese people. They are an easy target at the moment, but I think the causes of climate change and rising food prices is much more complex." - lol
"the obese population will double by 2015 to 700m" - holy shit

That would be funny if they wern't serious, but they are and its ridiculous. Of all the things that cause environmental impact to talk about they tye it in with weight. Next they'll be blaming tall people because they block out sunlight that plants need to photosynthesize!!
The best thing the Londo school of hygiene could do is destroy all its students and teachers, then there would be less people so reduced environmental impact
