Malnutrition is mainly caused by either an under or oversupply of food. Under supply of nutrients leads to micronutrient deficiencies such as iron, vitamin A, Zinc, Folic acid, Vitamin D, and iodine. Obesity on the other hand is caused by increased consumption of highly refined foods, added sugar, salts, and fats as well as reduced physical activity and sedimentary lifestyle. The results are early and premature deaths, increased healthcare costs at the household /national level, and a vicious cycle of poverty.
