How to raise nutrition awareness among the poors in developing country
I want to bring nutrition issue to poor families in rural area to aware of the important of nutrition in their food diet. Where should I start to address this issue with them because I have noticed that poor people always consider about the quantity and price, but not quality of the food. They do not have basic knowledge to select good food. They often end up with very low quality. I observed that the imported food production is not proper controlled into developing countries where low quality of food produce for low income people.Reply directly to Ang Theany, Ang Theany

Clarity on thirst and appetite
Traditional advice for slimmers is to drink a lot of water, one reason being that they may be thirsty not hungry. I recently read that infants receiving complementary foods may not eat becuase they are thirst and should be given water to improve appetite. I cannot find research on either. Will appreciate direction to correct the information.Reply directly to Carol Browne, Carol Browne
