这篇文章是根据Aruna Uprety在尼泊尔那些村庄的直接经历撰写的，在这些村庄里，许多妇女由于性别歧视和有害的文化习俗而营养不良。儿童营养不良也是因为他们的父母不了解当地食物的价值。此外，卫生工作者没有受过向社区提供保健和营养信息的培训。在那些村庄里有许多营养丰富的当地食品，但这些食品没有得到正确的使用，相反，人们认为市场上的包装食品更健康。作者正在通过撰写书籍和文章以及通过关于营养和健康的讲习班传播关于当地食物的营养价值的信息。
This article is based on Aruna Uprety's direct experiences from the villages of Nepal where many women are malnourished because of gender discrimination and harmful cultural practices. Children are also malnourished because their parents do not have knowledge about the value of local food. In addition, health workers are not trained to provide information to the community on health and nutrition. There are many nutritious local foods available in the villages but those foods are not used properly and instead people think that packaged foods from the markets are healthier. The author is spreading information on the nutritional value of local food by writing books and articles and through workshops on nutrition and health.
