Malnutrition is not just caused by a lack of food. 👇

The double burden of undernutrition & obesity/overweight can have a huge impact on the future of a society.

In #Honduras the cost of the #doubleburden was 2.3 billion USD - equivalent to 10.2% of the country's GDP.

@Cybernicus @DanniTwiet @MbalulaFikile @alanwinde @WineLandSA @DrZweliMkhize Some reports (not the majority) indicate males as young as 15. Would be interesting to see national statistics on the demographic profile of all alcohol related trauma injuries in the last 10 years.

[Nadia van der Colff @Dr_Consumer]

1/4 Alcohol is not the problem, but rather a segment of people. Numerous studies report on the male dominance of injured trauma patients with links to alcohol, previous admissions and criminal offences.

Note: According to numerous international and national reports, "The problem segment", i.e. alcohol-related injured patients in trauma units tend to be younger males (15-40 years). @MbalulaFikile @alanwinde @DanniTwiet @WineLandSA @DrZweliMkhize

4/4 Alcohol-related trauma patients could be placed under police guard and enrolled in an EFFECTIVE educational/counselling/rehab programme, designed and executed by PROFESSIONALS. Start at preliminary school level to teach children empathy.

Consumer Solutions rolled out a large-scale survey to determine how South African consumers’ wine purchase and consumption behaviour will change as a result of Covid-19. A total of 2 774 wine drinkers participated! Get a sneak peek here: https://t.co/rWgGzuYD4n

“SA is the only wine-producing country with an export ban in the midst of the Covid-19 lockdown. In the event of a prolonged lockdown, up to 40% of the annual R 9 billion export value could be lost which will result in bankrupcies and significant job losses” @michaelfridjhon

Beverage trend spotted @KauaiGlobal @ Village Square Durbanville branch. Flavoured sparkling soda #sugarfree #caloriefree and priced to go @ R17 per can! #health #foodtrend #water.

Hard Seltzer - a hugely successful #lowcarb & #lowsugar alternative in the US alcoholic beverage market. Health consciousness remains a big trend driver for NPD around the globe. Definitely a gap in SA market. #hardseltzer #health #consumer #trend #alcohol

@TheEconomist Because China has the largest population, they will have the most diabetics. For a more reliable comparison, rather report on prevalence per country. The Marshall Islands has the highest prevalence of diabetes globally (34%).

Lack of differentiation, whether on brand or sensory level, is such a costly mistake! Stimuli generalisation often leads to cannibalism and consumer frustration.
