Somalia, Nigeria, and Malawi are few of the most less economically developed countries (LEDC) in the world where there are a huge number of low SES (Socio Economic Status Community) respondents. In Somalia, the food supply is based on cereals and milk, and vast majority of population rely on imports of cereals and sweeteners. Similarly, the Nigerian diet is mainly composed of cereals, millets, and starchy roots such as potatoes. The Malawian diet is also based on cereals and starchy roots. As you may have already guessed, people with low SES respondents do not consume vegetables and fruits as frequently as people with high SES respondents. This is because they are inclined to spend their limited budget on foods like cereals which has high carbohydrates. These carbohydrate rich foods gives feeling of being fullness quickly but temporarily and do not include essential vitamins.
Because they do not consume fruits and vegetables as frequently, the dietary energy supply is unbalanced and insufficient to meet the daily nutrition and energy requirements. As a result, they do not obtain sufficient amount of vitamins A, C, D, E and B12, iron, calcium, beta carotene, potassium, dietary fibre, and magnesium.
