So I'm actually supposed to be reading for my AP homework, but instead of quickly finishing off the books, I keep finding myself completely astounded at what I read and ruminating on the matter instead of reading.
According to Michael Pollan's The Omnivore's Dilemma, (and I am holding this book accountable for giving me the true facts, and hoping that Pollan has researched enough) the United Nations declared, in 2000, that the number of people suffering from overnutrition had officially surpassed that of the people suffering from malnutrition. The race was not at all close with a billion versing 800 million.
Gluttony, one of the seven sins, is now nothing short of reality.
