Medicine for son or vegetable for family? Life in record inflation
Apnalaya’s Poornima Nair speaks to Times of India on how inflation is making the poor eat worse or less. She says that when a family hits a financial crisis, the first thing that is impacted is food intake. “Not only have we seen low food intake among under-privileged communities, but this also results in low nutritional intake, leading to chronic malnutrition that can lead to low birth weight, stunted growth, anemia among children and adolescents.”
