Description
Calls for swift intervention to keep our young people healthy.
A United Nations report suggests 9.4% of those aged five to 19-years-old are obese, and 9.2% are underweight.
In the year 2000, 12% were underweight and just 3% were obese.
Save the Children Advocacy Director Jacqui Southey told Ryan Bridge there needs to be better education around what is and isn't healthy.
