We were watching a TV show about food shortages in Africa.
They showed a woman boiling and mashing tree leaves to get some nutrition.
At some point they showed distribution of containers
of soy flour, corn meal, flour, etc.
That started the discussion at our house;
If these people have water shortages, and fuel shortages,
then what do you do with a sack of corn meal ?
It would seeem that the UN (?) could come up with a standard
for a "universal nutrition bar"..... ( granola bar ? )
It would contain the ingredients for a reasonably healthy meal
and the equivalent of a vitamin/mineral pill too.
Eat it right out of the wrapper....
Seems it would simplify things alot.
Of course, I'm not a hi-paid UN official,
so there must be a reason for "a bag of soy flour" instead....
