Talk:Experts: obesity is a bigger threat than AIDS or bird flu

Numbers correct?

"1 billion people in the world today are overweight, and 300 of those are obese." The articles I've seen turned up: "More than 1.5 billion adults worldwide and 10 per cent of children are now overweight or obese." Eaglevision 22:25, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

nevermind, simple typeo from ap report, got it. Eaglevision 22:40, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

How can obesity be a bigger threat then AIDS and Bird Flu when there is a cure for obesity, but no cure for AIDS and Bird Flu.
