Both hunger and obesity are defined differently in different parts of the world. Hunger is generally
defined as inadequate access to food, either because of famine or because of inability to grow or
purchase needed food. Even the most wealthy nations have individuals and families that face
hunger regularly, according to their definitions. Obesity is generally defined as being above the
normal weight for one's age and height, but this too differs among countries. Hunger and obesity are
not mutually exclusive, because obesity may be associated with high intake of fats and sugars, but
not with a balanced diet that could also reflect hunger, due to lack of intake of essential nutrients.
Hunger and obesity may or may not be related to amount one spends on food. They tend to be
linked more to access of food.
