A nation of fatties

Is it good news when you hear that the population of those who are well fed (obese?) has overtaken the starving?

If you are from sub-saharan Africa you wonder what this is all about. Images of children starving to death is all too common.


This only emphaises the gap that continues to grow between the haves and the have nots. And it is a cruel world everyone is looking for an opportunity to acquire more and more.

Guess I'm just feeling guilty - I am better off than most people but still hard to reach a point of being contented.
