The authors wish to make the following correction to their paper published in the *International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health* \[[@B1-ijerph-17-02343]\]:

A mistake in the published text "In 2017, the absolute number of people affected by undernourishment or chronic food deprivation was estimated to be 821 million and 9 billion adults were overweight or obese."

Will be corrected to: "In 2017, the absolute number of people affected by undernourishment or chronic food deprivation was estimated to be 821 million and 672 million adults were obese."

These changes have no material impact on the conclusions of our paper. We apologize to our readers.
