<i>&gt; …rising global trends in obesity should not overshadow the problem of many people not getting enough to eat.
In South Asia, for example, almost a quarter of the population is underweight. In Central and East Africa, about 12 percent of women and 15 percent of men are underweight.</i><p>The increase in the obesity gets even more alarming if one considers that out of ~7 Billion world population, one can take ~3 Billion people (India + China + Central Africa) out of the equation as they are affected less than others (the first infographics also supports this notion).<p>641M of 7B = 10%<p>600M of 4B = 15%<p>(Approx numbers just for getting some ballpark indicators)
