It's now reached the two thirds mark (67%) in some countries, including the US. This is the case in my own country of Australia where it's roughly one third normal weight, one third overweight and one third obese. [1] [1] https:&

I sympathise with your comment about the trees being cut down. Trees are natural, 'undesigned' features that are good for thrilling and risky climbing activities. And yes, good for learning to evaluate risk, something I did a lot

Yes, it really gets old the constant hyping of Australian fauna as 'dangerous', mostly it seems by US American media. Cassowaries in the wild are really not a danger to humans even though they have the potential to do possibly l

Which means that they shouldn't have used the word 'invariably'. I'm also not keen on their use of the word 'survivor' in the same paragraph.
