And many are over weight. Poor people in Africa and India have zero body fat. I always look at body fat for indicator of true poverty.

There is a rising “middle class” in these regions that is experiencing an obesity problem; especially Africa. They’re still poor by western standards but rich enough to fatten up.

If they're rich enough to get and stay fat, then they're really not in dire straits.
