Absolutely, and the projections, of course, are always a bit challenging because the world changes over that time. But I think the most striking statistic I've heard is that one in three children born in the year 2000 will develop diabetes in their lifetime, and that's as a consequence of, obviously, growing obesity rates. So that's a very frightening statistic. It doesn't mean that they'll necessarily develop the diabetes as children, but if they develop obesity as children, then it leads to the consequences of that.
