CPC Fellow Barry Popkin discusses global obesity in Scientific American
Jan 17, 2008
More people in developing countries are now overweight than hungry, says CPC Fellow Barry Popkin in the September 2007 issue of Scientific American ("The World is Fat," Scientific American 297, no. 3: 88-95). More than 1.3 billion people are now overweight. Obesity rates in many developing countries are nearing the rates in developed countries.
