over-nutrition

just finished michael pollan's the omnivore's dilemma. and while there were a LOT of interesting things. this one stuck out to me:

"the disease formerly known as adult-onset diabetes has had to be renamed type II diabetes since it now occurs so frequently in children." (102)

also: "...the united nations reported that in 2000 the number of people suffering from overnutrition--a billion-- had officially surpassed the number suffering from malnutrition--800 million." (102)
