“'We very much look forward to partnering with organizations and the government and non-governmental organizations here in India around broader public health issues, including the issue of obesity,' said Obama.
“'I’m very proud of the work that Michelle has done on this issue,' he said. 'We’re seeing a worldwide epidemic of obesity, in many cases starting at a very young age.'”
However: The United Nation’s World Food Program says India is one of the hungriest countries in the world.
“UN agencies and non-governmental organization have pointed to undernourishment, and underweight children, as a serious problem in India.
“’An estimated 32.7 percent of the Indian population lives on less than US$ 1.25 per day,’ says the UN World Food Program. ‘The country is home to a quarter of all undernourished people worldwide. Any global impact on hunger requires progress in food and nutrition security in India.’”
