The main purpose for including the description "The situation regarding junk food is very worrisome in Nepal" is to instill concern. This phrase highlights the seriousness of the issue, aiming to provoke a sense of urgency and worry about the impact of unhealthy diets on children's health in Nepal.
"How Ads Created Global Junk Food Generation"
by Saeed Kamali Denghan
An unhealthy diet is a major cause of “non-communicable diseases” such as heart diseases, cancer, diabetes and strokes. Such diseases accounted for 66% of deaths in Nepal in 2017. A report this year by the UN’s children agency, Unicef, found that 43% of Nepalese children are either stunted or overweight.
“The situation regarding junk food is very worrisome in Nepal,” says Atul Upadhyay of the global health organisation Helen Keller International, who is featured in UCL’s Nepal film study, produced in collaboration with the Kathmandu-based centre for research on environment, health and population activities. “Children are eating more unhealthy food than they are eating healthy food.”
