- The
authors conclude:
"We do not question the use of RUTF to
treat severe acute malnutrition, under
qualified health professional supervision.
Our concern is the extension of its use
in communities, rather than in health
facilities, and for prevention, rather
than the treatment of malnutrition. Using
an expensive, currently usually imported,
commercial product, as the main food to
prevent malnutrition, is undesirable and
unsustainable. For full paper. Click

- Treading
The Fine Line
Nestle's
awareness programme runs too close to
marketing
It pays to keep away from private-public
partnerships, especially if you plan to
'only' create awareness on a topic that
complements the business you are in. Last
week, foods giant Nestle was probably
chewing hard on this thought.
