Global health works like sharing a takeaway order.
The order lands and everyone starts at the same empty table, plates ready.
Portions pour toward the full end while the far plates stay bare.
Well-fed side stays healthier; the underfed keep losing — the gap holds.
what examiners catch — Students often forget to link commercial determinants (tobacco, alcohol, processed food marketing) to health inequalities, or they describe factors without explaining how they interact to create disparities.
