    The impact can we wide spread and long lasting. The first and most obvious impact is health.  Malnutrition and obesity (caused by junk food) have serious health consequences. These health issues impact the productivity and longevity of that community. The decrease in productivity and longevity of this community will hurt the new generation (the children they are raising). On the other hand a healthy and productive community not only thrives itself and produces a better generation but also be able to provide to other communities.
