It points out very clearly the overconsumption of the more 'western'
societies. And not only overconsumption, the consumption of processed
foods. The Asians and Africans had more fresh food, the processed
foods they had looked more like dried ingredients, less food overall
and looked more normal in weight and in health. Even the family in
Chad were not unhealthy looking and they eat the least of all.
We really do overeat. And since the dawn of technology, we under
exercise, we barely do more than walk from
table to couch or car to office and if we do go to the gym it is just
a momentary pause in our sedentary lives.
I'm as guilty as the next. We don't have to grow our food anymore we
just go out and buy what we want.
Should tell us something.
