Global Children's Obesity Surpasses Undernourishment

UNICEF says obesity is now the main form of malnutrition in children.
By 2025, 9.4% of children aged 5-19 will be obese, slightly higher than underweight.
Obese youth numbers doubled from 194 million (2000) to 391 million (2022).
UNICEF urges governments to restrict unhealthy food ads and impose taxes.
