5% of our 300 million population is starving/malnourished children.
- astrodust 14y agoThen there's the worrying proportion that's gargantuanly over-weight, and an even larger proportion in woefully under-performing schools. Sometimes you wonder if the kids in less affluent countries don't have it better.
