this is from one of the links you have provided: "The average American consumes an astounding 2-3 pounds of sugar each week, which is not surprising considering that highly refined sugars in the forms of sucrose (table sugar), dextrose (corn sugar), and high-fructose corn syrup are being processed into so many foods such as bread, breakfast cereal, mayonnaise, peanut butter, ketchup, spaghetti sauce, and a plethora of microwave meals."

Now anyone who consumes 1.5kg of sugar per week must be very unhealthy!
And if you want proof; look at the size of the average American....

Sources of vitamin a: liver, cod liver oil, carrot, broccoli, sweet potato, kale, spinach, pumpkin,egg, papaya, mango, pea, milk, lemons etc. Generally dark green and yellow vegetables and yellow fruits.

I think the unilever knorr beef cubes sukuma wiki campaign was more healthier and less of a capitalistic consumerism than this one. It is the one to be encouraged and supported, not this one of mumias.

'making it easier for those unable to get vitamin a' is a weak excuse. Why would or should anyone buy sugar to get vitamin A when one can get it direct from its source more easily? Isnt it, @ Dash?

This sugar approach does not make sense. Save your shillings instead.

The majority of slum dwellers feed on sukuma/ugali, githeri, and tea with bread/mandazi. @yesu wangu all the foods you mentioned are not even present in many non slum dwelling households. But what you almost never miss is sugar for tea. I will look for the study done by un/kemri to state exact figures of nutrition status in kenyan households then maybe you can appreciate the importance of this.
There are numerous studies that have been conducted which some I have been involved in, and you will not take my word for it but this is a major step in preventing these deficiencies.
