The removal of the term "burden" would reduce the negative point of view of the selection. The term implies a heavy or oppressive load, which carries negative connotations regarding the situation described in the passage. Removing it would make the statement less critical.
"How Ads Created Global Junk Food Generation"
by Saeed Kamali Denghan
Recent studies published in the Lancet medical journal showed that more than a third of low and middle-income countries are affected by the double burden of malnutrition, meaning that children not having enough food in poor countries are also in danger of obesity, or eating too many empty calories in the form of junk food.
“Children all over the world are facing major challenges to eat healthily – they are more surrounded by advertising and by opportunities to eat ‘junk’ [processed] food than any previous generation,” says Dr Kent Buse, co-investigator on the study, who complains that government responses have not kept pace with fast-changing food environments.
