Obesity Worsening Global Warming

Lots of recent studies coming out are showing that growing obesity is putting more strain on our planet. An obese person puts about 1000 more tonnes of Co2 into the atmosphere in their lifetime. It uses more gas to move a heavier person, and obese people also eat more food which contributes to more greenhouse gases in food production. Obese people are also much more likely to drive than walk even over short distances.
