What’s Wrong with This Picture?
Just a picture of a cute kid standing in a corn field in rural Tanzania. Right? Look closer. See his distended belly? The child is malnourished while surrounded by plenty.

Ask anyone and they will boastfully tell you Czechs drink more beer per capita than anywhere else.
