Lagos – An expert, Roberta Oyedokun, has revealed why children with rich parents also suffer malnutrition and obesity.

According to her, the wrong choice of foods for children and toddlers can cause such sicknesses and remains a major contributor to malnutrition.

She said while parents focused more on brands of foods, they must go beyond names or brands in choosing the right choice of foods for their children.

Oyedokun who is the founder and chief executive officer of a food company, Moppet, said in a statement sent to Legit.ng:

“When we talk about malnutrition in children, most parents think only children in rural areas are malnourished, but the truth is a lot of children from urban cities with richer parents also suffer malnutrition and obesity because of wrong food choices.
