Chart of the day is...

.....the number of people who suffer "calorific deficit" in Peru, 2006 and 2009.


From this Farid Matuk article.

Calorific Deficit is a long-used statistical tool in Peru which measures how many people receive the recommended amount of calories per day. In simple terms, it measures how many people go hungry. Because its results are not easily corrupted, the Peru stats office liars have now decided to make this tool "reference purposes only" and not include its results in official national statistics. The INEI prefers its new crooked method that shows poverty dropping year on year.
