If you have managed to maintain your ideal weight, congratulations.  Not only are you caring for your health, but you’re benefiting the planet as well, according to recent research.  If, however,  you are overweight or obese, those extra pounds are creating more of a strain on the planet than you probably realize, the research shows.
