javamanjoe rated 5 weeks ago- THE 'PLUMPYNUT' SAVES CHILDREN'S LIVES. It's a revolution in nutritional affairs," says Dr. Milton Tectonidis, the chief nutritionist for Doctors Without Borders. "Now we have something. It is like an essential medicine. In three weeks, we can cure a kid that is looked like they're half dead. We can cure them just like an antibiotic. It's just, boom! It's a spectacular response," Dr. Tectonidis says. "It's the equivalent of penicillin, you're saying?" Cooper asks. Plumpynut is a remarkably simple concoction: it is basically made of peanut butter, powdered milk, powdered sugar, and enriched with vitamins and minerals. It tastes like a peanut butter paste. It is very sweet, and because of that kids cannot get enough of it. The formula was developed by a nutritionist. It doesn't need refrigeration, water, or cooking; mothers simply squeeze out the paste. Many children can even feed themselves. Each serving is the equivalent of a glass of milk and a multivitamin.

- This segment was originally broadcast on Oct. 21, 2007. It was updated on June 20, 2008. You've probably never heard a good news story about malnutrition, but you're about to. Every year, malnutrition kills five million children - that's one child every six seconds. But now, the Nobel Prize-winning relief group "Doctors Without Borders" says it finally has something that can save millions of these children.

- Plumpynut is a vitamin-enriched peanut-butter ball of powdered milk and powdered sugar. It can cure malnutrition at a minuscule price. "Two years ago this region had the highest malnutrition rate in Niger. But now, after widespread use of the Plumpynut, it has the lowest."

- From the page: "Plumpynut is cheap, nutritious and needs no refrigeration. It is saving starving children in the developing world and could save more … if there were more of it. (CBS) You've probably never heard a good news story about malnutrition, but you're about to. Every year, malnutrition kills five million children -- that's one child every six seconds. But now, the Nobel Prize-winning relief group "Doctors Without Borders" says it finally has something that can save millions of these children. It's cheap, easy to make and even easier to use. What is this miraculous cure? As CNN's Anderson Cooper reports, it's a ready-to-eat, vitamin-enriched concoction called "Plumpynut," an unusual name for a food that may just be the most important advance ever to cure and prevent malnutrition."

- We talked about this is my journalism class. This is great. The name "Plumpynut" sounds like a Candyland character From the page: "(CBS) You've probably never heard a good news story about malnutrition, but you're about to.

- My mom used to make me an afterschool snack of peanut butter mixed with dry milk and powdered sugar and rolled into balls-- the EXACT same recipe! She called them "monkey mush balls." Which I suppose is only a slightly less embarassing name than "plumpynut." You are what you eat. I was a huge kid. I grew up to be a plumpy nut.
