A nutritious blue-green algae, known as spirulina, has been added to school meals in Jordan to help fight chronic malnutrition anaemia in children.Almost one in ten Jordanian children suffer from chronic malnutrition, or long-term protein or energy deficiency, while a third are anaemic, according to a survey done by the Jordanian Department of Statistics (DOS) in March. Spirulina has a role in fighting malnourishment, especially in children, and is often referred to "its low cost of farming as it can be grown even on infertile land and without a large water supply."it's amazing how an easy growing algae can solve a malnutrition problem throughout many youg children.
Excellent summary. Consider adding your own opinion at the end. This is quite interesting...
