No..no..it is not a conspiracy between KFC and VLCC, but obesity is a form of urban malnutrition. For a generation brought up on chips, cold drinks, pizzas, burgers and fried chicken....it is a potential health time bomb.
With growing urbanisation and increasing frequency of lifestyle disease, a larger allocation in the national budget will be towards health.
In contrast malnutrition in rural India is largely due to lack of sufficient nutrition. This is due to a combination of factors like cost of food, knowledge about nutrition etc.
So there is no uniform solution to national food and health
