The Latter Days

I wonder what people were saying in 1919, when...

(1) we just finished the greatest WAR ever

(2) there was widespread FAMINE in Germany and central Europe due to government breakdown and Allied blockade...

(3) we had the worst SICKNESS ever in the Spanish Flu...

(4) all of that led to a fair amount of DEATH...

Boy, the four horsemen were out and about yet no end of the world as we know it.

And now, for the first time in history, more people worldwide die from eating too much than eating too little. And the fewest deaths from war, EVER.

And don't get me started about 1648 when all four were much worse on a per capita basis...
