Malnutrition
Not Just Hunger
Malnutrition refers to poor nutrition, not just the lack of food, but also an unhealthy diet.

Even with enough food, malnutrition can occur if the diet lacks essential vitamins.
Global Issue
Understand that malnutrition is a global problem, not confined to the developing world.

Obesity in developed countries can also be a form of malnutrition.
Socio-Economic Factor
Malnutrition often involves social and economic issues, like poverty and healthcare access.

Affluent societies may still have pockets of malnutrition among the less privileged.
