The world is getting fatter and fatter, and all at a time when the world is also starting to run out of food. It is also getting fatter when we are at a time when 8m kids will die of hunger this year alone. So we are running out of food, 8m kids will die from having no food, and yet the World Health Organisation is spending billions on the issue of obesity. Do you get the feeling something is not quite in balance with this situation.
This diagram from the W.H.O. shows that certain countries have a real challenge with fat adults. And I for one was surprised to see certain countries, like South Africa highlighted. I was not surprised to see both the UK and The USA, but was surprised to read that the States are not the fattest nation on earth, Nauru has that honour. But comming in at 3 and 4 on the list is the UAE and Saudi, and did surprise. The USA is fifth, and the UK comes in at number 10. Did you know that Hunger kills more people than Malaria, TB & Aids combined, that I am sorry to say is a lot of people.
