Many people in the world do not know if they are overweight. This is the chart to check. You should find

out roughly every 3 months and change your ways if you are. But this isn't really right for us as we

are still growing.

If you are overweight your not alone

• Over 30,000 deaths a year are caused by obesity in England alone. A study by the National Audit Office in 2002 estimated the condition costs the NHS £500 million a year. The overall cost to the country is estimated at up to £7.4 billion a year.

• Adult obesity rates have almost quadrupled in the last 25 years. Now 22% of Britons are obese and three-quarters are overweight

• The number of obese children has tripled in 20 years. 10% of six year olds are obese, rising to 17% of 15 year olds

• Obesity can lead to health problems, including arthritis, heart disease and diabetes

The average African diet is based on healthy things like

maize porridge and a cup of tea.

Also a lot of healthy vegetables like spinach and beetroot.

Where as the average UK diet consists of……

Tea or coffee with milk and sugar, or fizzy drinks. Lots of sugar and

processed food. With lots of sweeteners and chemicals. Lots of

enhanced crops.

The only thing is the African diet is totally dependant on the weather. One bad

harvest = no food+no money
