Actually malnourishment isn't undernourishment. Lots of people die
before their time because of *mal*nourishment because the stuff that's
bad for them tastes better than what their body really needs. Obesity
is the killer of today, not starvation.
Just wanted to mention that. Well, I'm off to Burger King now. I
have a coupon for a two-Whopper meal here...
