I saw (from over someone's shoulder on the bus) a headline saying there are now more obese people in the world than there are starving. I though, that means on balance we're doing well then - a net gain if you like!

I suspect the point was that there shouldn't be obese people and gluttony, while there are still people dying of malnutrition, but for me I took it as a positive story. It would be a worse case if things were the other way round.

No point to this really, just thought I'd share my thoughts x

hmmmm I don't see that as positive in the slightest! How can there being loads of fat and very unhealthy people (who cost a bomb to society in medical costs) be a good thing?!

To me it is 2 very horrible and undesirable things in the world and really can't see anything good about it! It shows that the world is very messed up, full of greedy people who eat too much and poor countries, who probably have a greedy government who aren't doing enough to help the starving people.

Greedy fat feck here!









Not proud, thoroughly disgusted in fact, and wishing that i could afford to eat meat and veg each night......but unfortunately I cant

Em, I kind of see whatbyounmean as in if there are more obese than starving at least more are well fed?? But I agree with Lisa that obese people are a huge strain on the NHS. I think a lot of it is to do with lack of education about eating healthy.
