- I was very interested in the ''Plump Nut" story by Anderson Cooper. What a wonderful product to help the hungry. But wait... this product has existed since 1999! Why are we just hearing about this now...nine years later... How many kids could have been helped over the last nine year with this product???? If only I had known that Plumpy Nut existed I would have given $$$ for this product.... This information should have been repeated and repeated over and over again... There is no reason that kids should die of hunger.

- Feed them now. A self-sustaining solution will have to come later.
.....this thinking has wobbled on for quite some time without a "solution" ever coming.

- Starving populations worldwide. Cause--over population.
Dying salmon in the Northwest. Cause--over population.
Fundamental cause of a huge portion of 60 minutes stories--over population.
The ability of Anderson Cooper, Lesley Stahl, and most every reporter at 60 minutes to make the connection--Priceless and inconceivable. I think they''re all brain dead. - Reply to this comment
- Anderson is cute! I love to see all of the words that are spelled wrong in the comments! Anderson should have stated how we can help and what other avenues are being pursued in order to help this last-on-the-list developing country, ie: birth control, education etc... but for now, feed the babies.

- Great Broadcast. The comments in regards to teaching them about contraceptives, though I can understand the meaning behind them, that would be imposing our beliefs on to their culture and religion. As Americans, we resent when outsiders try to change our beliefs. This isn''t about contraceptives....afterall, how many unwed mothers do we have in our country. Its about children starving in a land where it is difficult to grow food. This is a simple solution that can help so many. However, my comment back to CBS and 60 Minutes. I am all for helping your neighbor. Is Plumpy Nut available to the families and children within our own country that are starving or are suffering from malnutrition?

- I can''s believe that 50 minutes did not focus more on the fact that what these women need is contraceptives and education to stop the production of a population that can not be supported by them. Feeding these already depleted boedies to grow into children without future seems irresponcable. The doctors are barking up the wrong tree.I find it one sided reporting.
