The main purpose for including the description in the boldfaced phrase is to instill concern. The information emphasizes the alarming statistics regarding unhealthy diets and their impact on children's health in Nepal, aiming to raise awareness about the seriousness of the issue.
"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.”
