“Pacific islands are in the midst of a crisis of obesity and its associated dangers of diabetes, strokes and heart disease,” says a recent news article.
This rise in obesity is accompanied by a sharp rise in related health problems. Fortunately, a much larger health issue, one that has plagued humanity for most of its history, seems to have finally been wiped off the face of these islands.
That problem is starvation.
Sometimes a bit of perspective is helpful. If you’re going to have a problem, too much food is a better one to have than too little.
Inertia Wins!
