    Now the scales have tipped.

    A study published on February 29th in the Lancet medical journal, shows that more than a #billion people were classified as #obese in 2022, the latest year for which data are available.

  4. The banking giant #HSBC says its #profits have more than #doubled as it benefited from rising #interest #rates around the world. Europe's largest bank reported profits before tax of almost $22 billion - up nearly13 billion dollars on the same time a year earlier. The lender also saw its profits further boosted from its purchase of the UK arm of the now-defunct Silicon Valley Bank, which it bought in March for just over a dollar.
