Poorest countries facing both obesity and malnutrition

Communities and families can be affected by both forms of malnutrition, as well as individual people at different points in their lives, the report says.

By the 2010s, 14 countries with some of the lowest incomes in the world had developed this 'double problem' since the 1990s.The report authors say action should be taken by governments, the United Nations and academics to address the problem, and it points the finger at changing diets. "We are facing a new nutrition reality," says lead author Dr Francesco Branca, director of the department of nutrition for health and development at the World Health Organization.

After Brexit, we can all thank our well-intentioned gov't, as we join the poorest countries. 14 million becoming 20 million+! 4 million becoming 6 million+! 130,000 dead benefit recipients becoming 200,000+! No way, Bigot's love for us all and his infectious enthusiasm will win!

we'll be joining them shortly

😁😅

Something to look forward to post-brexit.

Suckers

Well, that’s a fat lot of good...and bad.

the richest countries face that too though

Because the cheapest foods are less nutritional. It's the same in the UK. People just can't afford fruit/veg.

Sounds like lock of discipline to me. I say if you can’t do the time don’t do the crime! Balance your budgets and your diets and you will stay rich and fit. Women may also follow (this was my experience)

moe_nagoya When I studied about world hunger in Social Studies at middle school, I had thought this problem would be solved by the end of the 1900s. Unfortunately, that never happened.
