Welcome to the world, human No. 8,000,000,000

Living world human No. 8,000,000,000 was born today.

Still remember back 62 years ago to the day in 1960 when heard the news world population reached 3,000,000,000. 'We're sure getting overcrowded I thought. 'How can we possibly support that many folks.'

Took thousands of years for Mother Earth to house a billion souls in 1804. Another 123 years passed till 2 billion came around in 1927. It took just 11 years for 7 billion to become the 8 billion today.

Mother Earth not doing a good job of feeding those 8,000,000,000 mouths. Around 10%, 800,000,000, are food insecure. 34 million of those going hungry are right here in the richest country on earth. Conversely, those poor folks are dwarfed by the 130 million Americans suffering obesity.

Think about that the next time you're crying about high food prices on the luscious goodies you're filling up your ravenous stomach with.

Less could be more for the folks who have little....and better for those 130 million with expanding waistlines.
