Firstly, happy Monday.
Secondly, SuperForester Justin just started our day off right with some great news about Plumpynut.
What is Plumpynut?
"Plumpynut is a remarkably simple concoction: it is basically made of peanut butter, powdered milk, powdered sugar, and enriched with vitamins and minerals. It tastes like a peanut butter paste. It is very sweet, and because of that kids cannot get enough of it"
So why is this important? Because Plumpynut isn't just a new snack product, it's a huge step towards reversing malnutrition globally. Especially in children. And that is news that makes our Monday.
From the 60 Minutes episode:
"Why are so many kids dying? Because they can't get the milk, vitamins and minerals their young bodies need. Mothers in these villages can't produce enough milk themselves and can't afford to buy it. Even if they could, they can't store it -- there’s no electricity, so no refrigeration. Powdered milk is useless because most villagers don't have clean water. Plumpynut was designed to overcome all these obstacles."
