Food is killing us
At the time of writing this thread, there are currently :
840,022,797 undernourished people in the world
1,702,934,076 overweight people in the world
771,600,176 obese people in the world
Money spent in the US amounts to $75-$125 billion on indirect and direct costs due to obesity-related diseases.
Eric Schlosser in his book “Fast Food Nation” states that the annual health care costs in the US stemming from obesity approaches $240 billion.
Just imagine, we could eradicate world hunger with that kind of money!!!
Our food (the abundance thereof and the lack thereof) is killing us.
We are seriously misdirected if we don’t see what we’re doing to ourselves and others.
23,782 people and counting died of hunger today
What are your thoughts?
