I am sure that a lot of it is politics. Fighting both fronts a little bit will appease advocates for both issues, whereas fighing say obesity but not malnutrition would cause an uproar for those deep in the fight to end starvation.
In an ideal world maybe those who were gaining unhealthy weight from eating TOO much food would give the excess to those truly in need.
