Cornell nutritionists used studies such
as this one to improve the dietary conditions of people
in developing nations. Another African study, also performed
by Cornell nutrition expert Hazel Hauck, discovered
that by changing the type of flour they used to peanut
flour, which is cheap and readily accessible, the women
could dramatically increase the protein content of their
meals. Methods such as this, which reached out to the
older generation and did not conflict with traditional
and cultural norms, had a lasting impact.
