You don't need Plumpy'nut in every situation. It's for very malnourished children, and intended to replace F100. Children in less serious states can have other, cheaper kinds of supplemental foods. I remember there is one that is based on a cheaper protein source that tastes exactly like a peanut butter cup. <BR/><BR/>http://www.plumpynutinthefield.com/eng/index-eng.php - the May 15 2007 project was the one I was part of.Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17082252210603671917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4208433616422614307.post-61552362547816955932008-04-20T20:26:00.000-07:002008-04-20T20:26:00.000-07:00Wow, thanks for shedding light on that.
