Good Luck.
There are now one billion obese adults in the developing world. This was around 250 million in 1980. The number of very people has almost in the last 35 years. A report from the Overseas Development Institute (ODI) said one in three people is overweight. The wants all world governments to do more to change what people eat. The biggest that people are fatter are that they have more and they are spending it on fast food. Fewer people are eating , healthier food. Steve Wiggins from the ODI said: "Changes in , the increasing availability of foods, and advertising have all led to dietary changes.”

It's not all news. Two countries (Denmark and South Korea) have done very well in the few decades to deal with the obesity problem. Denmark introduced against trans-fatty acids. Restaurants and food producers must be very about the kind of fats they use to cook their . South Korea started a public education programme 20 years ago. It warned people about the of obesity. Mr Wiggins said: "A few ago the government of Korea said we must encourage our traditional foods, which are in fats and oils, high in vegetables, high in food and so on. There was a lot of public education, a lot of training, and a that Korean food is good for you."
