The irony, in Somalia and Ethiopia which you mentioned people die in large numbers of malnutrition from not eating enough.
In America people die in unimaginable numbers, equally from malnutrition but in the polar opposite direction, from eating way TOO MUCH food.
My beef is with the companies and businesses which mass market this garbage to us and our children. Pop tart and mcdonalds commercials on morning cartoons.. shinny packaging in the ailes.. its marketing 101, and they have us all hooked.
The book I mentioned above talks all about it, about the fact that Americans tend to over eat because of the poor quality of 'food' which is
sold to them.
