    • Abstract:
      The article focuses on the report released by the financial institution ING on the economic and market implications of U.S. obesity. Entitled "The Fat of the Land," the report looks at possible effects on the U.S. economy of the growing numbers of obese people. The main impact of the growing number of fat people in the U.S. is on population levels, according to the bank. The bank expects population to fall by around 11 million by 2050, because of obesity issues, both medical and fertility related.
