Amusingly, while India suffers malnutrition, US suffers obesity
Obesity in American youths (aged 12-17) increased from 5% to 13% in boys and from 5% to 9% in girls between 1966-70 and 1988-91. Obesity related plans account for 7% of total health care expenditure in developed nations. Even the US first lady Michelle Obama was forced to ask the food and beverage industry to market nutritious, and not junk foods to kids.
It’s ironic that while one set of nations suffers obesity, another set suffers malnourishment. And both these situations bring extremely worrisome health issues to the fore. Although the suggestion might even seem churlish, the real challenge now is to understand how to handle the surplus of food in developed nations better and re-route the same to the rest of the world. A utopian world would surely be one of unequivocal nourishment.
