      Alarming statistics have been released by the World Health Organization about Australia’s overweight children.
      We are second only to Libya in the world’s most overweight children aged under 5.
      Then followed by Tunisia, Egypt, Papua New Guinea and Greece.
      The skinniest are Myanmar, followed by Sri Lanka, Timor-Leste, Madagascar and Yemen.
      In Australia, 21.8 per cent of children are classed as overweight. The UK was 22nd and the Us was 52nd.
      “The prevalence of obesity is moving in the wrong direction with no immediate sign of reversion,” the WHO wrote in the report.
      Does this surprise you?
