- Let me help. I would like to purchase Plumpy Nut every time I go to my local grocery store. Actually I would like to purchase the electronic credit and have the Food Bank or Doctors Without Borders give the money to the foreign factories to produce Plumpy Nut. This would save shipping costs and create jobs. Hopefully this could be the cashier''s new tag line "Plumpy Nut, paper or plastic?" I could spare a couple of dollars each trip to the grocery store--so could most of America! Make it convenient for me to help feed the world along with my own family.

- If people are dying of malnutrition, then that is a sign that people should STOP BREEDING like RABBITS. I will contribute to any cause that sterilizes these people. Guess we can''t get ''em to use condoms. If these women are having an average of eight children, then there should be mass sterilization. Give all the men vasectomies. Stop this bleeding heart feeding of these people. How ''bout healthcare for all in the USA?

- Who can I contact about getting Plumpynut to my daughter, whom is a Peace Corps volunteer in Rakai Uganda? Their sponsor pulled out, and there is no money for food, for 750 orphans. This will be a Godsend...to feed them before they become even more malnurished. HELP US PLEASE!!!

- Go one step in addition to mpnhouston''s comment: require birth control for the mother when a child is brought in for plumpynut. The real problem is that the average birth rate for women in Niger is 8! That is way too many in an environment that is already stressed for food.

- Yes, birthcontrol! Either that or hystorectomy! Please, what about OUR kids?? In the good old US of A? I am sorry but I just do not get it. Why are we spending our tax dollars on this type of treatment to save the lives of these children who will, in another 8 or 9 years, go out and have more malnutritioned children? Please explain the reason to me!!!

- Great invention! Now add birth control to it. That''s not cruel - what''s cruel is to put even more pressure from an increasing population on a country unable to provide for the present population. I want every baby in the world to survive but the human race has got to control our population before we run ourselves off the earth.
