Scientists have blamed the rising number of fat people for global warming. But I think this is not fair on fat people. The World Health Organisation estimates that producing the food eaten by each fat person emits a tonne more carbon dioxide a year than for thin people. They also added that overweight people are also more likely to drive which contributes to environmental damage.
But do fat people cause global warning more than thin people?
Dr. Phil Edwards, of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, said: “Moving about in a heavy body is like driving in a gas guzzler.”
Fat people should lose weight for the sake of their health, not this global warming stuff that scientists want to blame on them. Are our scientists running out of ideas or explanations regarding this global warming problem?
Lets not blame our fatties just for the sake of it. But on the other hand, I would encourage our fat friends to eat healthy and exercise for the sake of their health.
