Gutom at Malnutrition: Sama-Sama Nating Wakasan




         For every year in the month of July, the National Nutrition Council (NCC) leads the whole nation in celebration of the Nutrition Month. For this year 2013, the theme is “Gutom at Malnutrisyon, Sama-sama Nating Wakasan (Starvation and malnutrition, let us end it together!)”
          In our society starvation and malnutrition is the main problem. Starvation is a severe deficiency in caloric energy, nutrient, and vitamin intake. It describes a "state of exhaustion of the body caused by lack of food." This state may precede death. And malnutrition is a general term for a condition caused by inadequate dietary intake and/or disease. There are increasing rate of those who are suffering from starvation, because poverty. And there are now many children who are not eating nutrition foods like junk foods. Because most of the children now, they don’t like to eat vegetables.
          We need to act on that problem. If there’s a problem there is a solution. The solution on that problem is eating a nutritious foods and stop eating junk foods. So we must eat go, grow, glow foods. Starvation and malnutrition let us end it together.
