Nairobi, Kenya: Parents who live in affluent estates in Nairobi are feeding their children fatty and junk foods, leading to a high incidence of obesity among children aged between five and 12 years, research shows.
A survey conducted by African Alive Kenya Chapter, a local NGO, found that 30 per cent of pupils in upmarket schools were obese while only two per cent of pupils in lower-class estates suffered from excessive fatness.
