@ging93 it's about eating less meat not taking meat out of your diet completely. if the demand for meat lowers then it allows for better distribution of the resources it takes to make that meat like the video said. its just saying...maybe instead of being a fatass all the time and stuffing your self with meats you should take a day off...vegetables are delicious by the way...come one we're not 3 years old anymore...

Excellent!!

This animation is just perfect!!

Idealistic crap. If African people stopped having so many children and started being more responsible, then there would be less people to feed, and that's the simple truth.

@thepenguin114 I live in America, voting doesn't make a difference (see: 2000, 2004). I'm not waiting for the majority, I'm waiting for a system that can actually achieve the change that the video wants to happen.

@inademv That's the same mentality as choosing not to vote because one believes it won't make a difference. This mentality is common, and a whole lot of people end up adopting it; thus, making a direct impact in the -opposite- direction. Inaction is not an option. Be the change you wish to see. Do not wait for the majority; it needs to be created first. Be a part of that creation.

@Farvadude First time i see and american who is boasting of NOT being first.

I thought your country, as a whole, was proud of that fat...

sorry, but how do i download this video into my computer? it's really good :)

[inademv]

@fedobear My mindset is that they idea in the video is stupid because it presupposes that a bottom up consumer based solution would work on any level.

@inademv

tough it is true that a single person holds little to no power, this kind of mindset isnt gonna solve the issue

@Farvadude Taking a look at the numbers referenced through public data for the top 4 fattest countries:

American Samoa - 93.5% x 66432 = 62,114

Kiribati - 81.5% x 98000 = 79,870

U.S.A - 66.7% x 308,745,538 = 205,933,274

Germany - 66.5% x 81,799,600 = 54,396,734

It seems to be evident that the US has 3.8 times the number of overweight populants as Germany. Percentages, like I said before, are grossly outweighed by the actual population numbers.

@Farvadude Looking at percentages, US is around the 3rd-4th position. Unfortunately, the ones above the US are "countries" with populations of 100,000 or less. Looking at the percentage only gives a small viewpoint of the picture. I'm not even sure what the actual numbers of people per country exist as overweight, but that might give a better representation of the "fattest" countries. If a country exists with only 3 people, each one overweight, just by adding one average person would ruin the %.
