A study found that overweight people could end the human race by eating all the world's food.

Conducted by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, the study revealed that the number of obese people has been growing and said the demand for food resources will surge.

According to the United Nations, the world's food resources are expected to be depleted by 2050 as the global population grows.

“Our study shows population fatness is also a major threat,” said professor Ian Robert, who led the study.
