Question

Some people who have access to a large variety of foods are still malnourished because:

they do not eat wisely
they eat the wrong types of food
they live on snacks and fast foods
they have picky appetites

Answer 1

All of the above.

Even with plenty of food, people can be malnourished if they:
- Don’t eat wisely (diets lack balance or variety),
- Choose the wrong types of food (foods low in essential nutrients),
- Live on snacks and fast foods (high calories but poor micronutrients),
- Have picky appetites (avoid nutrient-rich foods).
