The Weight of the World


Hat tip to the web log rightsizingamerica that pointed me to this pictorial representation of global obesity rates (click it for a larger view).

The picture comes from a generally non-weight related web log entitled Wellington Grey.

If there are educators out there who want this as a poster, the graphic's designer has opened up a webshop selling them.

$20.69 for a large poster.

    INTERESTERIFICATION - Is this a healthy alternative or is it the new trans-fat?

  3. Theresa, quite simply there's not enough information out there.

    Since 1997 there have been only 41 published journal articles detailing interesterification but none of them pertain to health outcomes.

    One thing's for sure however, time will come up with an answer eventually.

    I appreciate all your information on this blog. My daughter's teacher is just as amazed! She really takes her job as an educator of youth seriously and often quotes your blog to the young ones!

    In regard to the 'new fat'.... is it required on a label? I guess I just have to stop eating anything out of a package that makes a crinkle sound.
