Just in time for the holiday gorge fest is this 'fat map' from Huffington Post. It shows calorie consumption per capita or in other words, where people are over eating and where people aren't even eating at all. No surprise really that third world and developing countries are those whose citizens are most likely to starve. Of course if forgoing a second helping of mashed potatoes will not magically allow an African child to eat them, but I think it is worth a reminder about our own consumption habits and how they may affect the world. If this Thanksgiving we served one less dish at dinner and took the money we saved to invest in a feed the world program imagine the impact we could have.
