Thanks rhiannon. An interesting (frightening?) statistic is that there are alomost twice as many overweight as undernourished people in the world!
Nice one rhiannon....thanks for sharing !
excellent find, rhiannon - thanks for turning us on to it.
and no, not "dry" at all - in fact their 'about' page (http://www.worldometers.info/about.php) and their 'sources' page (http://www.worldometers.info/sources.php) are rich with additional information.
thanks again -
