If I'm not mistaken, didn't the UN or Oxfam give some starving African country a few years back a cheap, edible, high-carb and protein rich foodstuff similar to this? I believe P.J. O'Rourke referred to it as "Famine-Chow."
"Famine Chow" is a mix of sorghum, wheat, sometimes rice, and various legumes. If they are lucky it also sometimes is coated with molasses. I'm thinking this could kick off a Kenyan-New Zealand War. Which might be the funniest war ever. Two peoples completely incapable of getting at each other. The New Zealanders might just surrender.
During the East Africa famine of 1980-81, the US sent yellow corn meal to Kenya. Kenyans are used to white corn meal, "ugali", used to make the staple food dish, "posho". Why, they asked, was this relief maize meal yellow in color?
Rumors soon were flying saying that the yellow color was due to contraceptives being added to the maize meal. After all, aren't the Western nations always telling us to reduce our birthrate?
As a result, none of our workers would eat the yellow meal. We tried telling them that we had been eating yellow cornbread all our lives, and had four children! The "contraceptives" just didn't work! :-)
