- Abstract:
- A chubby boy is sitting in a wagon. Verso: Better food for a healthier world. World Health Day, 7 April 1974. The world is rich but not making good use of its riches. Too many people live in the shadow of chronic hunger and malnutrition while others eat too much and are thus malnourished in a different sense. People everywhere should contribute to better food for a healthier world. The shadow of obesity hangs over this boys childhood. In the background may be a mother who in her mistaken zeal overfeeds him.
