Michael, you missed the most important part of the article:
The whole planet is also putting on the pounds, though. Globally, there
are more than 1 billion overweight adults, according to the World
Health Organization (WHO), which notes that the number now outweighs
the world’s 850 million malnourished people (emphasis mine).
Of course, the reporter totally missed that this having more fat people than starving ones is actually good news.
