Abstract

Scientific evidence shows that food-related excesses, which are linked to obesity and are spreading globally both among adults and the youth, are the cause of new and widespread diseases ranging from cardiovascular disturbances to diabetes. Indeed, the body mass index (BMI) is rising rapidly in all industrialized and many developing societies.
