The assault is MANA on African producers of peanuts.

Why go to the trouble of raising a cow if milk is free?

I am sorry. I will have to disagree. I vote for Adams Old Fashioned, both creamy and crunchy.

I like the new ones with the white cream outer frosting (don’t like chocolate). Reese’s peanut butter baking chips are good too, by the hand full.

All those “empathetic” Lefties can easily privately send them money for support. It’s not like MANA only takes tax money.

Yes, indeed! CNN should lead a fund drive to help these folks out. Or CNN can borrow money for them. CNN is no more broke than the US is.

This is democrat trash.
Giving vitamins with peanut butter has too many unknown variables to be effective.
You would never know what amount each child is getting.
Pure horse manure story by CNN.

MANA Nutrition

The anecdotal sob stories are keeping Legacy Media busy.

Why do I suspect MANA Nutrition employees are big Democrat donors?

If CNN doesn’t mind, I’d like to know the cost per pound of peanut butter produced.

So, was funding for this program specifically cut? Or was funding for an NGO which does this along with a wide variety of other things bad, good, or middling, cut? It’d be basic journalism to make that clear.

If its legitimate, then Bill Gates Foundation can support it with its billions.

“ Mana’s expanded 80,000 ft² production facility opened in the spring of 2024 in Fitzgerald, Georgia, increasing production by 400% and creating 60 new jobs in the local community.”

“The 100% Pledge
Because we sell Mana to customers like UNICEF and USAID, we’re able to reinvest any profits we make into food production facilities, staff salaries, and office support. This allows us to dedicate 100% of your donation to life-saving packets of RUTF and provide Mana to organizations that couldn’t otherwise afford it”

Apparently this group manufactures and sells the packets to USA ID.
