UN: 200 million children under 5 eat too little or too much

One-third of children worldwide under age 5 — about 200 million youngsters — are either undernourished or overweight, undermining their full potential to grow and develop, the U.N. children's agency said in a report Tuesday. UNICEF also said almost two-thirds of children aged 6 months to 2 years are not fed food that supports their rapidly growing bodies and brains. In its annual report, UNICEF warns that poor eating and feeding practices start from the earliest days of a child's life.
