Findings Could Help Slash Child Malnutrition Jul 16th 2013, 22:17, by webdesk@voanews.com (Carol Pearson) Experts say funding child nutrition is the highest profit-yielding strategy any country can take. If children are starving, they get sick more easily, need more costly health care, and earn less than adults who had the right nutrition.   Child malnutrition is a global problem. It exists even in rich countries. It affects a large number of children in Asia, especially in south Asia.   In parts of the world, such as sub-Saharan Africa, it threatens child ...
