Answer to Question 1

Urbanization has been a factor in the worldwide decline in breastfeeding; the increased consumption of fats, sugars, meat, and wheat; and the outbreak of cholera in several countries due to contamination of the urban water supply. As nations continue the rural-to-urban transition, the incidence of chronic diarrhea from polluted water and food borne contamination remains a major public health problem in urban slums.
