Modelling suggests the majority of UK population may be obese by 2050
The prevalence of obesity in the UK more than doubled in the 25 years to 2007. In England, nearly a quarter of adults and about 10% of children were obese in 2007, with a further 20–25% of children overweight. The Foresight report extrapolated that 40% of Britons might be being obese by 2025, with Britain being a mainly obese society by 2050.
