Injustice fact

downright stupidity? wow you must have some incredible insight that we can only stand in awe!

There are more fat peopele(number) in India and China than in Britain. Percentage always confuses with the actual number.

There are also considerably more people in China and India compared to UK.

Obesity by percentage of population would be a more accurate metric to use.

Poster - whichever way you look at it, your argument that poor nations are poor due to them being uneducated, selfish and corrupt is a darn right disgrace

The guy is an idiot.

66% of adult Americans are 30 pounds overweight and 30% are obese while 20 million human beings starve to death each year..... What's all that about?

--------------------------------------

The first part of the statement is probably a country affluent enough to more than feed itself to the point of gluttony.....
--------------------------------------------------------------------

the obesity problem in the states isn't really to do with gluttony. Its the poor quality food available to the poorest people. High fructose corn syrup is in everything just because its so cheap and addictive.

Why spend the money on expensive fresh produce when you can get a double cheeseburger for $1.

The only way a lot of people can feed their families is with cheap nasty unhealthy food.

Not really. The obesity problem in the US is not similar in every state.

Afridi (and Wump), you didn't heed my advice to read my comments carefully, rather than look for an argument did you?

Perhaps consider that the descriptive words I used weren't all specifically directed to 3rd world countries, but also countries that have provided 'aid'.
