Also, if you want to understand how there can be people who are overweight and also experience hunger, please read up on "food insecurity". Food insecurity is a household-level economic and social condition of limited or uncertain access to adequate food. Hunger is an individual-level physiological condition that may result from food insecurity.

I am thin, and my kids are healthy. They play sports and they do so very well. 
No one has explained why the people like myself and the war survivors that I know, who were food "deprived" as kids are not obese now. Now one. I know tons of holocaust survivors in my family. They saw starvation as kids. I know others from my country who are my age who did not get fed the quality of food we see, and they are not fat. I guess they aren't food insecure. [/quote]

OP, you are missing the point. The point is not that food insecurity makes you fat. The point is that

1. food insecurity and hunger are not synonyms
2. it is possible to experience food insecurity, as well as hunger, and also be fat.[/quote]
