The last post talked a bit about food security and health, two topics that continue to interest us. It keeps coming up in our day-to-day lives; Emily just read in a magazine that 49 million people in the US suffer from hunger, food insecurity, or inadequate access to food<\/a>. That’s quite a lot for such a wealthy country as ours.<\/p>\n

A Peace Corps (not Peace Crops!) friend of mine just sent me a link to a really cool video<\/a> that cleverly illustrates the global trend of life expectancy and wealth, by country, over the last two centuries. I \u00a0love it because I am a graphics geek, but it’s so well done (by the BBC, of course) that it will appeal to almost everyone. It’s short, so make with the clicking. I know you won’t be disappointed.<\/p>\n
