400 Million Obese People Responsible For Global Warming!
By NunoXEI • May 19th, 2008 • Category: Blog
If you are obese, you are probably more responsible for global warming than you ever thought. And your contribution to global warming is really serious and very, very significant because 400,000,000 of you are obese, a newly published research finding claims!
Your often too generous uptake of food and fuel for transport is actually placing a great strain on already depleting world resources, according to some British researchers at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
This may be too warm to handle… The finding adds that what compounds the weighty problem is that obese and overweight people require more fuel to transport them and the food they eat, and the problem will worsen as the population literally swells in size, adding to food shortages and higher energy prices.

Oh geez. I’d like to see the stats behind that vague calculation.. if indeed it is just the amount of food and fuel that they consume compared to the thinner variety of human, then other arguments need to be made. Such as: Those who exercise should limit the amount that they eat, because they eat more than a lazy person. Actually, maybe they should just stop working out all together. Also, those crazy people who live in jungles, in the far north and south and up in the mountains should move! We are wasting valuable fuel bringing food and other supplies out to their communities.
Judging someone’s impact on the environment based on their BMI is sooo limiting, and allows those who want any excuse NOT to do something the very excuse they are looking for: I’M not overweight, so I’m not going to change my ways until those who are do.
Maybe looking at the foods themselves and how they are produced and shipped, and their health benefits (or lack thereof) would shed some more light on this huge problem.
