malnutrition

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'problem with poor fare' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'travelling to milan and turin' is the wordplay.
'travelling' indicates anagramming the letters.
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'to'+'milan'='tomilan'
'tomilan' after 'turin' is 'turintomilan'.
'turintomilan' anagrammed gives 'MALNUTRITION'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for malnutrition that I've seen before include "Lack of adequate nourishment" , "Result of a diet deficit" , "Severe lack of proper food" , "not being sustained properly" .)
