12845802, the nutritional dual-burden
Posted by akon, Mon Jul-06-15 05:03 AM
it gives one much pause for thought
countries in which under-weight and over-weight occurs concurrently
a good example is south africa - i see kenya listed in your post
(although walking around nairobi- people here are really small.
i often wonder where the 12% is - i'd assume it would be a more visible population)
certainly when i was in cape-town, obesity was very much more visible
mexico also has an obesity problem - part of it might also be physical size.

but.. this shit is real
the question is how does one even effectively handle this?
also... one would assume that overweight would mainly affect the wealthier, urban classes
but apparently this is not (always) the case
