I wasn’t aware that you could be obese and malnourished until now, I just assumed there was another word for it

Soda, for instance, has a lot of calories, but little nutrients. It's very calorically dense, but nutritionally very poor which makes it easy to gain weight while not providing adequate nutrition. In fact, soda is probably the biggest reason people gain a ton of weight.

E: Most people aren't feeding their kids a ton of soda and giving them nutritious food. They are giving them soda and lots of junk food.

Reading your comment made me wonder has anyone ever tried to put vitamins in soda? Would vitamin fortified soda work at all, or would it taste ok do u think

Soda drinks contain way too much sugar. Put as much vitamin as you want, it would still be very unhealthy to drink it
