Cristiane Amanpour, in her ever-increasing efforts to actually bring NEWS back to the Sunday morning talking bobblehead shows, gave a great spot on "stunting" and the fact that 3rd world children are 1/3 or more smaller than children of "well-fed" countries.  And we are sending shitty food to them that doesn't help them grow to boot (all corn (surprise surprise!) and no protein--milk powder in this case--as there was when this effort began in Africa, for instance...in the last few years the milk powder has been mysteriously "dropped" in the mix of food we drop to them by the ton).
