Did you know your food is killing you?

Bangkok - Eating unhealthy food, or not having enough food contribute to widespread malnutrition.

Poor diets are among the top causes of ill health globally, accounting for nearly one in five deaths, according to a study published on Thursday that called on governments and businesses to do more to improve eating habits.
Eating unhealthy food, or not having enough food contribute to widespread malnutrition, said researchers behind the latest Global Nutrition Report.  "Diets are one of the top risk factors of morbidity and mortality in the world - more than air pollution, more than smoking," said Jessica Fanzo, a lead author.
"What we're eating is killing us. So something needs to get us back on track with our food system," she said. The researchers analysed 194 countries and found that malnutrition could cost the world $3.5 trillion per year, while overweight and obesity could cost $500 billion annually.
