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.

@Yesuwangu,
You must be an irritant and i am sorry for judging you thus or you are from another planet.Do you know there are millions of grown up Kenyans who have never seen or heard about some of this sources?....Would you know?

McReggae, wacha ujuaji. lol.

Anyway, I also know that majority of people do eat.......can we get them to eat more push-the-week for example, Selah?

Ooooooookay,........what is this??

@ Dash, @ McReggae and @ Selah, I am sincerely sorry for being 'irritating', especially to @ Dash, and for touching some strangely raw nerves here, of those I previously had a lot of respect for. I will no longer give any contrary opinion.

@ Selah, I am sure the occupant of this planet can figure out that one, as I wouldnt know anyway, you know, being from another.
