There’s that age old observation that people end up looking like their pets (or perhaps pets end up looking like their owners?). This theory came close to being proven when, reported in The Guardian, 78% of vets attending a European conference on pet weight management agreed with the statement ‘obese pets tend to have obese owners’.
The article states that, according to the RSPCA, at least 50% of our pets are overweight.
That’s right folks, not content with making ourselves and our children fat; Fatville is affecting the poor moggies and doggies that share our homes!
