Overweight, obesity and underweight are all problems and all problems should be addressed and must be given enough attention. It may be possible that there are a lot more overweight and obesity cases that is needing more attention but we must not only focus on only one problem but balance everything. If you lack attention with the underweight then there will be big possibility that this problem will worsened and will also become a big one. So for me, it is better to study, understand, and cure a certain problem while it is still a small issue. We should always remember the simple saying that prevention is better than cure. This will avoid the need to allot big amount of funds just to provide solution to a big underweight problem if you will be able to solve it while the issue are still simple.
