Africa Daily

Available for over a year

Enough with the snacks: Africa’s got an obesity problem. And this is leading to major health issues like heart and liver disease across the continent. At a glance, this might seem rather peculiar, considering malnutrition is still a huge issue in Africa. So, what exactly is going on?
