We did it people, we did it

[Lao Tzu]

There are now officially more obese people than starving people on earth.

"The world now has more fat people than hungry ones, according to World Health Organisation figures, with more than a billion overweight people compared to 800 million who are undernourished."

I'd like to thank Krispy Kreme, Brazilian sugar farmers, the guy who invented escalators and all the rest.

This is a good milestone, it shows food insecurity is consistently going down.

As I was saying the other day, you gotta be morbidly obese and then some to look fat today. People of normal weight appear like toothpicks. A couple of Marines came to the school the other day, they looked tiny.
