PITY THE POOR MALTHUSIANS:
The World May Have Too Much Food (John Tozzi, March 31, 2016, Bloomberg)
Behind the global spike is greater access to cheap food as incomes have risen. [...]The main takeaway? Excess weight has become a far bigger global health problem than weighing too little. While low body weight is still a substantial health risk for parts of Africa and South Asia, being too heavy is a much more common hazard around the globe.
We don't have an excess of food; we have a shortage or people.
