I do not believe this is a cause of celebration for BD. Lets leave aside our neighbours, its not our issue.
What is the need of the day is to reflect that there is moderate hunger in BD. This is massive. A country that is a top 10 producer of rice, fish, vegetables, etc, globally should not have any hunger and stunting.
This is a systemic problem that needs to be taken seriously and tackled aggressively. Childhood stunting would impact those kids for the rest of their lives and the nation though below par economic output from them.
BD has a long way to go if it can not feed its people properly. We should not worry about others, there are also food poverty for example UK, a country many multiple times richer than BD. But all this is entirely irrelevant, BD needs to urgently do better seriously counting the opportunity cost of this problem.
