Africa faces growing obesity problem (AP)

A woman walks past an advertisement on a sidewalk in downtown Johannesburg Wednesday Nov. 29 2006. More than one-third of African women and a quarter of African men are estimated to be overweight and the Word Health Organization predicts that will rise to 41 percent and 30 percent resepctively in the next 10 yaers. (AP Photo/Denis Farrell)AP - Africa a continent usually synonymous with hunger is falling prey to obesity. It's a trend driven by new lifestyles and old beliefs that big is beautiful.
