Malnutrition here and Now.

Decided to do a bit of research into malnutrition in this country and came across these bits.

This one is about people, mainly elderly, starving in this country 93 % at home or in sheltered accommodation. It has got me thinking about how starvation diet can help to address this. Is there a charity near me that helps with shopping or cooking for elderly people which myself or others could sign up to?

This one talks about what malnutrition is. Starvation is one form of it but it can also involve not getting enough of the right kind of nutrition or being able to absorb the good stuff you put into your body. If this is the criteria I wonder how many young people are malnourished in this country?

Article from the independent about the malnutrition. Even an clinically obese person can be starving or malnourished. Bit from Gordon Ramsey about fining parents who let their kids eat rubbish.

The photos

I feel a bit funny about posting these. They are people whose privacy should perhaps be preserved. But the photos are readily available on the internet, being used to forward positive causes and let people know things. So I have included links to these causes and brief descriptions with the images so that they don't get disembodied from the causes.

I can not verify the motives of this site and some of the images are disturbing.

Taken from a site which helps investors to asses the risks and problems of investing in South East Asia. I've not included the link to this one as I don't know if this image should sit in a site about investing.














This one is from a sight which aims to look at a world different from capitalism. The actual child has become just another anonymous image.
