Social Burdens

The article is primarily about the cost of obesity to the nation, but they get into other burdens.

hello. we at the World Health Organization have compiled this table of official bullshit

because as the World Health Organization, hiring consultancies to confirm everyone's bullshit suspicions is a fuck ton easier than actually doing something about World Health

god knows with ebola around the corner we had better put out some fucking charts or people will expect actual results pronto and we can't afford to let everyone know we can't do fuck-all about that kind of thing or they will stop paying us

so as the World Health Organization we studied how to make the chart interesting like we were really doing something important and we decided it would really shake things up if we put armed violence war and terrorism in the same category

obviously they are completely different things but the chart did not work out well for us when we separated them

and then we put Nigeria in even though the life expectancy there is 52 because it made the big countries look bad

Nigeria really has that obesity thing kicked

ha ha no really sorry about that ebola thing we hope doctors without borders has that covered for you

oh yeah you might be wondering about suicide well that is under armed violence because we decided not to make a point about that
