Plumpy'nut

Forget rampant peanut allergies in North America!

A Life Saver Called "Plumpynut"

This is an interesting 60 Minutes video about Plumpy'nut - It includes Anderson Cooper interviewing Dr. Milton Tectonidis, the chief nutritionist for Doctors Without Borders. There are some very interesting viewer comments on the site, as well.

The video focuses on Niger. The following links have info on Plumpy'nut in other African countries, including Ethiopia.
