from Foodnourish Deep Dives · host Pavlos Giorkas

In today's episode we're examining a startling report warning that over 220 million children will be obese by 2040 without "drastic action".We explore data from the World Obesity Federation showing that over half a billion children will soon be overweight, with millions already showing early signs of chronic diseases like hypertension and heart disease.We discuss why experts call this a "failure of environments" and highlight the urgent need for governments to restrict food industry marketing and implement sugar taxes.Join us as we confront the reality of this global health crisis.References:https://www.theguardian.com/society/2026/mar/04/more-than-220m-children-will-be-obese-by-2040-without-drastic-action-report-warnsSupport our work.Make a small donation.This removes any advertisements and help us continue bringing more interesting topics and confronting mainstream narrative on health.Click the Link to support us: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/foodnourish-deep-dives--6602003/support🤗 Support the show: Become a supporter for just 2€ per month to remove advertisements and help us continue bringing interesting topics while confronting mainstream narratives on health. Support FoodNourish Deep DivesThis episode includes AI-generated content.
