Researchers at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine published a study showing that a population of heavier people contributes more harmful gases to the planet than a population of thin people.
A few factors that they say contribute to their carbon footprint are:
-The additional consumption of food, requiring additional production of food, requiring extra use of air poluting tractors and trucks.
- The additional weight they carry requires car engines to use more gas and spew higher amounts of harmful greenhouse gasses into the air we breathe.
I think they are really grasping at straws here, clearly we have a larger footprint because we have larger feet.

We could all start walking on our hands everywhere we go. Handprints are smaller than footprints.
Contrary to popular belief, the above picture is not of me.
