Growing concern over overweight among children
['Brenda Luwedde']
NTV Uganda
In Uganda, concern is growing over unhealthy diets and rising overweight among children, with experts warning of long-term consequences including diabetes, hypertension and other non-communicable diseases.
Attention is now turning to the food environment around children—from what is sold in schools to how unhealthy foods are marketed to young audiences.
Joining me is David Kabanda, Executive Director of the Centre for Food and Adequate Living Rights, to discuss Uganda’s Nutrient Profile Model and efforts to protect children’s health.
