In Bangladesh, there are many types of core problems! One of these is malnutrition. Poverty is the major cause of malnutrition which results from inadequate intake of foods. That means it is mainly prevalent among poor children. The usual saying is that 'poverty is a curse', especially in developing countries. Actually it's not a curse, the main curse is our mentality. This curse can be overcome if the affluent realise that they have a duty towards society.
