Why is there malnutrition in the Philippines?

Answer 1

As what I've observed the causes of malnutrition in the Philippines are mainly poverty, food shortage, Poor Sanitation, natural disasters (like Hurricane, Earthquake, volcanic eruptions, etc...) and specially corruption of the government officials.

Ohh, I forgot to mention LACK OF CARE OF THE GOVERNMENT.

Answer 2

Aside from poverty and food production problems, one reason could be the declining trend in vegetable consumption among Filipinos. The latest food consumption survey conducted by the Food and Nutrition Research Institute shows that vegetable consumption among Filipinos has been declining for the last 30 years.

Answer 3

that's one of the bad effects of over population and poverty. since the country is poor then the government cannot fully support or provide for the needs of the people and the people in the poor society cannot afford good food and enough food for their children.
