A concerning UN report shows that worldwide, obesity now surpasses underweight as the leading form of childhood malnutrition.
The primary culprit is the readily available and affordable nature of ultra-processed foods, often high in sugar, fat, and salt.
These foods are aggressively marketed to children, making healthy choices more challenging and contributing to serious health risks.
Governments need to take action by regulating marketing, taxing unhealthy foods, and promoting better access to nutritious options.
