The term “obesity” can be frightening: indeed, according to the WHO, it is a disease. It has been cited as the «second global pandemic» to concern our time, after the experience of Covid-19.
Despite this, many people do not consider themselves affected by this disease…
However, the figures identified by WHO speak for themselves:
Since 1975, the number of obese people has tripled In 2010, the WHO had forecast an expected limitation of the disease. Not only have these limits been exceeded, but the organization expects the number of people affected to double.
