Children’s health and development are profoundly affected by the foods they eat. Yet evidence shows that society is not giving infants, children, adolescents, and young people the support they need to eat the diets that will allow them to thrive. This is leading to unacceptably high levels of undernutrition (stunting and wasting), micronutrient deficiencies, and overweight and obesity - a triple burden. This document explores the daily lives of three children from different contexts. In their own words, these children show us how the foods they eat are powerfully influenced by the environments and systems in which they live.
