How many people are overweight or obese?

The WHO counts 2.5 billion adults overweight and 890 million obese. Over 1 billion people now live with obesity, double the number of 1990. Obesity kills more people than hunger. My 2030 call: 3 billion people overweight or obese, more than 1 in 3 humans on earth.
