Obesity and Malnutrition: Why Both Are Rising

A fascinating, short video here from The Economist which explores why levels of malnutrition have not fallen as much as the proportion of people in extreme poverty, and whether there is a link to rising levels of obesity in both developed and developing countries.Mexico is referred to as an example. in just one generation, Mexico has gone from widespread hunger to the highest obesity rate in the world.Eliminating malnutrition doesn't seem to rate highly as a priority amongst governments. It is claimed that only 1% of international aid goes toward nutrition programmes. Time for a change to that?
