Which is worse: being malnourished (i.e. lack of food) or being obese?

Malnourishment and obesity are not mutually exclusive. It is quite possible, even probable, that an obese person is eating a diet devoid of nutrients. The human body can produce some of the nutrients it needs even if they are not in the food consumed, but there are nutrients that the body cannot produce and they must be consumed at regular intervals.

But now a recent study from the University of California Davis School of Medicine published in the Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine says it's more dangerous to your health to be underweight than obese. In the six-year study following almost 51,000 Americans of all ages, researchers discovered that those with an extremely low BMI (under 18.5) had a risk of death that was twice as high as those with a normal BMI (18.5 to 24.9). Oddly enough, participants with BMIs that classified them as severely obese (30 or higher) were only 1.26 times as likely to die as those with normal BMIs, which means being obese is considered better than being underweight.

Obviously, this study isn't meant to glorify obesity, but rather to point out that not weighing enough can also pose health risks. And although another study showed there's such a thing as being healthy and obese, it's best to aim for a healthy BMI. Not sure what yours is?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
