I see nobody has answered how kids can be both starving AND obese....
Again..how are we helping the starving children of the US by offering fewer calories at school?
you can be starving for nutrition and obese. it's easy.
eat nothing but sugar. you'll get fatter, but you won't be meeting your nutritional needs and you will be, in effect, starving.
processed foods are typical high in calories and low in nutrition - partially because those high calorie/low nutrition ingredients are cheap.
