Malnutrition in Africa


Malnutrition in Africa

Malnutrition is  serious factor in all parts of Africa. I did this research on malnutrition because my heart goes out to any child that needs a meal. Children can not learn  without a descent meal. Nourishment is so important in your daily regiment. children who do not have the proper diet is tired , zombie like and irratable. a good breakfast is needed to start off your day. The people in Africa is not as fortunate as we are.

There are places in other parts of the world that suffe from malnutrtion but not like Africa. Africa is evident for malnutrtion and bad watr. Food is not plentiful because of the climate and the area is over populated.



Evidence shows that malnutrition is not simply a result of household food inse-

curity: many children in food-secure households are still underweight or stunted

because of inappropriate infant feeding and care practices, poor access to health

services, or poor sanitation, except under famine conditions. Malnutrition is often

linked to gender issues such as women’s lack of time. Though malnutrition is higher

among the income poor, it also affects the better off—suggesting that behavior is often

  2. Yes, malnutrition is a serious issue. My heart goes out to the children in third world countries who have little to no access to healthy food and fresh water. These are the children who also barely have clothes to wear, electricity or many of the things the poorest Americans have. I am grateful to all who give to help those in need. I have read that there is enough food on the planet to feed everyone but much of it is hoarded or wasted. This is tragic. In the US, I do believe there are hungry children who come to school that can't focus due to inadequate sleep and lack of nutritious meals. I believe these children likely feel sad and neglected. How will these children ever be successful if they feel no one cares for them?

  3. Malnutrition is something that makes me sad to see. My heart goes out to the children and adults in Africa as well as other parts of the world that suffer with it. I reall wish they had access to the many resources that we have access to here in the United States. With technology growing as fast as it is hopefully they will soon.
