If you want to get nutrients into people, the most efficient way isn't to change the food that they eat, but instead to improve the daily food that they already rely on.
Bellies are full, but full bellies are not enough.
If you're only eating that starch, which is often the case, you're literally starving from lack of nutrients.
That's why it's called hidden hunger.
I'm willing to bet that all of us this week ate a meal that contained at least one of these ingredients.
Salt, edible oil, flour.
No matter where you live in the world, you're cooking with that.
That's the foundation of everything we eat.
That's why it's called staple foods, and that's why they're so important.
If you want to get nutrients into people, the most efficient way isn't to change the food that they eat,
but instead to improve the daily food that they already rely on.
That's the idea.
And that's the idea behind food fortification, something I know a lot about.
We probably all benefited from this already this morning and didn't even realize it.
If you ate eggs cooked in oil, the oil had vitamin A.
had toast, that bread had zinc and iron.
Even the salt that you sprinkled onto that breakfast was iodized.
This isn't some overly processed GMO approach.
This is simple, safe, proven science, and it's about 100 years old.
In fact, malnutrition caused by lack of nutrients has all but disappeared in countries where food fortification works.
