Quoted: The story of how basic questions about what to eat got so complicated reveals a great deal about the institutional imperatives of the food industry, nutritional science and journalism.

It's one thing to have obese adults, it's another thing completely to have 22 MILLION obese children. This points to a huge gap in understanding of nutrition and diet.

Quoted: The world's overweight people now outnumber the undernourished, according to Paul Zimmet, in his speech to the International Congress on Obesity
