(2 to 3 m) over the course of 50 to 100 years - far faster than scientists had assumed.

...sick and expensive future. "If we don't teach people how to eat properly and exercise, then in 10 years no one will have the money to pay the hospital bills that will arise," Berti says, adding that the number of stomach-reduction surgeries carried out in Brazil had risen 500%.
