11．Asian children are becoming increasingly under-nourished or obese，a new report says．The United Nations Children's Fund （UNICEF） and the World Health Organization （WHO） joint report was released Monday．The two agencies call for better regulation of junk food and a limit on sugary drinks for children．They also call for action against malnourishment，because a lack of food has prevented children who live in poverty growing normally and healthily-or rather，hurt their development．
Dorothy Foote is a UNICEF regional nutritional specialist．She said the lack of food affects children's height and development inside their bodies．But at the same time，the area is facing"skyrocketing"levels of overweight children．
The main reason for the food problems，the report says，is there is more"junk"food available，food that does not provide nutrition．Another problem is drinks with high sugar or high trans-fat，but low nutritional value．Lack of physical activity is also part of the problem，the report says．
Foote said this is seen in nutrition across the area．She said people lack knowledge about what is needed and normal for healthy child development．
The economic growth in the area has brought"unhealthy products"to rural areas．Poor and middle-class families buy them and do not make"the right choices to use healthier foods instead．"Poor feeding practices，especially for children younger than two，mean ongoing high levels of undernourishment．
The report says governments need to regulate the marketing of junk food and sugary drinks to children．It also calls for better feeding practices for infants and young children，and treatment for severely malnourished children．And it says countries should work to reduce poverty and make sure that girls stay in school．
