Dear World...

It seems to me that the world has become extraordinarily unbalanced in recent years. How can there be so many with so little while a small number have an overabundance. And before anyone starts thinking socialism, etc. Let's look at some other aspects of life.
For example, here in the US we have over 60% of adults over 20 are either overweight or obese (by a questionable unit of measure, but still...). In other words, we eat too much. Anyone who has made any effort to lose weight knows that basic formula for weight loss is calories in must be less than calories expended. In other words, you have two ways to lose weight. Move more or eat less. The fact that such a large percentage of the population of one country can be obese while another country struggles to get the minimum of food to their citizens makes you wonder.
