You Make The Call

According to the United Nations World Food Program, virtually every country on the entire continent of Africa is malnourished. A review of the Interactive Hunger Map indicates that a full third of Africa has malnutrition rates above 35% while the balance of the continent sees rates between 5% and 34%. As such, the UN constantly hammers the developed world to give money to feed the starving masses in Africa.

Meanwhile, in Sun City, South Africa, the First African Obesity Conference recently concluded with the determination that obesity is "completely out of control." According to Professor Arne Astrup, President-elect of the International Association for the Study of Obesity,

"On an African level we see now that obesity is a really major disease, in line with HIV and malnutrition."

So, the food police have equated obesity to AIDS in Africa. Just making that comparison is irresponsible.

Nevertheless, there's one group saying that people on the continent don't have enough to eat while another group, at the same time, says that Africans eat too much. And both groups want charitable hearts to donate money so they can further their causes. What does a charitable heart do?
