For over 50 years, rates of those who are overweight or obese have been rising rapidly. Despite the rise in obesity rates, the growing recognition of it as a global problem and the astronomical sums of money we spend on addressing it, the tide continues to rise. That is until now. The answer is… eye wateringly well.
