Call it what you want, it's still sudza!

This was a sobering reality, getting to visit a shanty community directly across the road from the hotel where we are staying in Zimbabwe. They could not have been more warm, in part because Steven and Dr. Gil have visited a few times already.  

Today we got to be there while this young pregnant mom was making the family breakfast, granulated corn starch (SUDZA) with a little added sugar and peanut butter. Three cheers for the peanut butter, but I think folks would likely get about a 1/4 teaspoon per serving... not enough for adequate protein for anyone, much less a pregnant woman.
