Overweight people outnumber world’s hungry

Dave Noisy reports that overweight people now outnumber hungry people, and not just in across the street from you – we’ve apparently hit a global milestone, with 800 million malnourished people facing off against a billion overweight folks. Hmmm, a billion overserved… Sounds familiar… As per usual, researchers are citing cheap food and poor fitness habits, but nobody’s come up with any real out of the box ideas for dealing with the problem yet, like, say, potato chips armed with lasers, or pants with built in treadmills. I need to start an institute to address this shortage of creativity. Link.
