While discussing about the packed foods and its harmful effects to the children, Dr Arvind Pratap, a medical practitioner and a MBBS from Belarusian State Medical University specialises in child health and nutrition said:

None of the packed foods has the description of the quantity of sugar, salt, fat or calories in it. Children in Musahar villages of Badagaon block, which I visit regularly suffer from severe malnutrition. Children here consume crunchy, chips or cream biscuits packed in locally manufactured transparent polybags, which are more dangerous.  If malnourished children consume crunchy, chips or cream biscuits with high levels of salt, sugar and fat, then they are pushing themselves in the double burden of malnutrition.
