Obesity Weighs On The Wealthy In Poor Countries

This article is about the obesity epidemic that has taken over in many developing countries.The poor people with in the same border cant even gain alot of weight.In th U.S. there is a higher obesity trend and heavier trend on the poor people . They found out that about a quarter of the women were over weight.The Subramanian and his colleagues had looked up some of the trends in the weights and more than half a million women across the 54 developing between 1994-2008.After they did there new study they found out that a quarter of the women were over weight .
My opinion of this article is that people just need to watch what they eat and see how many calories are in the different types of food that they eat.You also should exercise and keep your weight down and dont eat alot of sugary foods and pastas.So when you go to the doctors thats what they might tell you when they ask what kind of foods do you eat.
