Malnutrition

So, we learned about malnutrition by eating this traditional african meal.  The main staple is something called nshima, which is made of corn meal and is like very thick instant potatoes.  You eat it with your fingers, by taking a small piece, dipping it in "relish" (cooked vegetables) and adding hot sauce.  It"s actually pretty good, but these folks are missing protein and healthy fats.  Also on my plate this time are the caterpillars and cooked tiny fish.   I heard that most eat one meal a day.  The saddest part is that most of the kids look 2-4  years younger than they would look in the states.  :(
