Now there's an easy way to cure and prevent malnutrition! And a daily dose costs only about $1--a small price to pay to save lives and provide a healthy start for young children.

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</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/10/19/60minutes/main3386661.shtml?source=mostpop_story">It's cheap, easy to make and even easier to use</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/10/19/60minutes/main3386661.shtml?source=mostpop_story">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</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/10/19/60minutes/main3386661.shtml?source=mostpop_story">it is basically made of peanut butter, powdered milk, powdered sugar, and enriched with vitamins and minerals.
