Question about burning fat.

Drips out?

Surely a man of your advanced years is already intimately familiar with this issue on a personal level.

Another topic but shouldn't the poor be eating more fat as it's really a cheap source of energy (as well as hydration). This would help solve the hunger problem.

Unfortunately we are not vacuum cleaners that run on energy. Human body needs a balanced diet to stay healthy.

What the poor and frankly everybody else as well should do is to eat less, but more quality food and as little of processed food stuff as possible.

When people really are hungry and fatty food is available, they will eat it. The hunger problem is a question of unavailability. The world currently produces enough food to feed everyone, but it is unevenly distributed.

It seems to me that in food-rich nations where obesity is a problem, lack of satiety is often confused with hunger. When people cannot conceive of spending 24 hrs without food, they don't really know hunger.

Unfortunately there are few charities that specialize in breaking the political and ethnic barriers to food distribution.
