The Trump assault on USAID also killed cute, fuzzy kittens and adorable big-eyed puppies.

Twice.

#43: "Where can we buy this stuff, there is definitely a market for it."

Excellent point! They make a product. They can sell it at Whole Foods and upscale supermarkets. With the profits, they can fund their own charity work to feed the li'l starvin' chilluns. "Newman's Own" peanut butter.

Have Chelsea Cllinton use her US Aid money on this instead of the $1200/meal she’s been providing African children. Wouldn’t even have to change the labels since it’s still US Aid funded. It would just actually go to feeding children rather than buying more homes for Clinton.

If CNN is upset that means something good has happened.

sent to severely malnourished children around the world, including some countries in Africa.

Not our job to feed children in Africa - or anywhere else.

It would also sell at REI and Cabela’s.

Malnourished people in the Congo claim U.S. taxpayers are trying to kill them with the strange brown paste!

Some reports out of Ustinkistan say people are choking to death from the U.S. supplied paste. Their leaders are demanding U.S. taxpayers supply milk.

I thought everyone under 50 is allergic to peanuts...

I'm under 50 and don't know anyone allergic to peanuts. Sadly, I do know a bunch of them who can't spell the word or sell a jar and give you correct change. Tell them Peter Pan is a real person and they are liable to believe it. :(

What is wrong with regular peanut butter? How much do these pouches cost? What is this program costing per year? How much is lost to waste or fraud?

This peanut-based food is peanut butter, powdered milk, vitamins, and electrolytes given to starving children in famine-stricken areas. It isn’t normal peanut butter.

Funds can be found for it, just not from USAID.

FWIW, peanut allergies don’t exist in the third world

That company should have hired Americans. So it’s their fault those poor kids are starving.
