Interesting fact: Globally, there are more people suffer from overnourishment (ie: obesitity) than undernourshiment now
I agree with that statement. It has been reported that obestity has been on the rise in America and that has many concerned.
Fast food outlets have said they will be cutting back on trans-fat, but how long will that last. French fries don't taste the same anymore and the bottomline is what rules the American Economy.
Americans will never stop eating. "Super-size it" is here to stay. Even if good food was offered, most would go with what taste's better. A double/triple cheeseburger is hard to turn down.........
The thing that actually tipped the scales globally was that China is forcing a lot of people who once owned farms into city dwellings and as such, obesity is on the rise there. South Korea is another country facing an obseity crisis within the next 10 years.
Its not just a western problem anymore, its global.
