The stat showing that overweight people > under nourished people (although sad there are that many under nourished) is astounding.
Not any time in our history have more people been "over nourished" (i.e. overweight), than under nourished. Although, probably more unhealthy, it's still amazing how the majority of the world now doesn't have to worry about food on a daily basis (as opposed to most of human history).
