Overconsumption irks Health Ministry

The Ministry of Health has complained that Malawians are eating too much and appeals to the public to reduce overconsumption of food to minimize diseases that come with overeating.

According to an Eating Expert in the Ministry of Health, Dr. Felix Pendulo, there are a lot of health issues in the country emanating from overeating.

Pendulo urged Malawians to also go for a healthy balanced diet other than sticking to a certain type of meal.

However, some social media users have attributed this overeating to Tonse Alliance’s “eating thrice a day” campaign promise.

“They only told people to eat multiple times a day without explaining what exactly they should eat as a result people have simply resorted to cooking nsima even in the middle of the night just eat multiple times,” one writes.
