What is the difference between being at nutritional risk and being at risk of malnutrition?

What do you think?

There are nutritional risks beyond malnutrition.

Paradoxically, one of the nutritional risks facing many people in the Western world is overnutrition...
- Too many calories
- Too little exercise

Due to medicine and farming evolution can no longer bring about a balance between our actual calorie requirements and our appetite for food, we no longer need to run after an antelope for three hours until it collapses and we can eat it but we still eat as though we were going to get that amount of exercise.

The only way things can be brought back in balance is if people start dying from over eating before they produce offspring but evolution must be given a helping hand by making food more difficult to obtain in countries were it is freely available
