A friend the other day was commenting on the size of Americans, (US) and I made a statement that it is a sign of malnutrition, to which he expressed disbelief, until I offered my opinion. People who get very little of the nutrition that the body needs, vitamins, enzymes and trace minerals will find their bodies craving more food in an attempt to acquire these nutrients. Since the American food supply in general is so depleted of true nutrition, people here eat and eat, trying to get their daily needs, and, never getting them, will instead consume the calories that make the body large, but never quite healthy. In these reports that Kirk posted, it seems that wealthier countries feed their population with food in boxes and bottles, pretty packaging, but very little nutrition. The foods consumed in poorer households appear to have a closer route back to the soil they were grown in, hence a higher level in nutrients.
