From on of my favorite websites ever, irishhealth.com:
"There are now over one billion overweight people worldwide, compared to 800 million who are undernourished, Professor Barry Popkin of the University of North Carolina, told an International Association of Agricultural Economists, conference in Australia."
While the number of malnourished on the planet is slowly decreasing, those who are overweight and obese represent a rapidly growing population. So, there are now more overweight people than malnourished. That's something.
