So, there do seem to be simultaneous epidemics of starvation and obesity. On its face that seems totally f-cked up. What is going on, and how can we make things better?
shareSo, there do seem to be simultaneous epidemics of starvation and obesity. On its face that seems totally f-cked up. What is going on, and how can we make things better?No -- obesity & starvation are two sides of the same coin. Obesity is generally caused by food with poor nutritional content. It digests easy, but the high carbs/low nutrition provide energy without the capacity for the body to exploit it. The result is a lower metabolism where the food is converted to fat rather than used as energy.
obesity & starvation are two sides of the same coin
Well, thats kind've the point isn't it? The coin being the world! They don't need to be on different sides. Nutrition has far more to do with education than money.When I say that they are two sides to the same coin, I mean that poverty leads to both. The poorest people of the world (and the nation) are starving, the next category of people are obese because the food they eat is low in nutritional content for the calories they consume.
I certainly agree with you, that each country has its "own" set of contributing factors, and that inequality is leading to "many" problems in the US, nutrition being one of them.

What the actual *beep* does this have to do with this film?

Your post is reportable, but I'll respond to your obvious confusion.
You're referencing the speech by the bad guy towards the end of the film before the big finale. He was referring to the fact that we in the United States have an obesity problem with Americans over-eating, and in other parts of the world there are people starving.
There is nothing you can do except to eat less and eat properly. Other people need to make their own decisions about their own eating habits.
Stop having children you can't raise properly. This will solve 99% of world problems.
sharepeople will never stop having sex, ever. this is literally impossible to achieve.
Even when given contraceptives, they will not use them. so the problem of having too many kids in places where there is a lot of poverty is something taht will never be fixed
