Watched a pod on USAID that mentioned the nutrition packet made with the peanut butter. It's been around a couple of decades and is considered a miracle for it's ability to save malnourished children.
iirc, "plumpy nut" peanut butter is distributed by organisations like Medecins Sans Frontieres, UNHCR, Save The Children... and now those kids are going to go hungry 😞
This means that Trump/Musk/Rubio/Vought are dismantling the supply chain that supports the manufacturing of critical food used to save children who are at imminent risk of starvation.
my heart goes out to the needy people who are depending on the aid/food. my heart is frozen and feels nothing for the asswipes of georgia who helped put turd into office. you're getting what you voted for. don't come crying when you lose your jobs . . .
“We get rid of child hunger by getting rid of the child. It’s a tremendous idea, I’m such a genius, everybody tells me I’m a genius and I am, believe me.” 🇺🇸
This admin is saying, quietly, "Let kids in poorer countries starve. We have no responsibility to help those in need. We'd rather stuff our already stuffed coffers."
Hill country Georgia is solidly trump country. It is unfortunate that the "thank you for helping me get re-elected" comes in the form of a giant FUCK YOU to the people who supported the giant ass bag.
I feel sorry for the employees at that plant who may lose their jobs. To have a job that helps aid the hungry, wow that must have felt great. We are all worse off for this.
Everyone saying ‘people didn’t vote for this’. Yes they did. They voted for a vile man who promised to hurt and punish others. The fact that ‘others’ now includes starving children is awful, but the principle is the same.
It might be helpful to call it Plumpy, which is the recognizable name of the nutritional paste made in Georgia and given to starving children. It's actually a miracle product. I can't even say how many lives it's saved
People may not grasp the importance of just peanut butter being canceled
Sorry to hear about this. I don’t want to pay to read this but will look for other sources. Just wondering….how many of the peanut farmers, and the workers and leaders of this company voted for this administration?
"Mana produces ready-to-use therapeutic food (RUTF) that includes peanut butter as a key ingredient, helping to combat malnutrition in children. Their products are designed to provide essential nutrients and support recovery from severe malnutrition."
In today’s news, Trump Administration screws over X number of Americans.
Join us tomorrow for your latest update on how many Americans have been screwed over by Trump and his Administration and our projections for who we think he will screw over in the near future.
Georgia went for Biden in 2020. I don’t get this idea that some people have that literally everybody who voted R is some kind of mindless MAGA zealot. MAGA is not the entirety of Trump voters!
Naive take. Anyone who votes for Republicans at any level is supporting fascism. The party has made clear what they are for over ten years. People who vote for the R are irresponsible, low information suckers and are 100% complicit in all this. Their ignorance has a cost. THEY deserve this.We don’t.
There is an old saying : You lay with dogs, you get fleas. MAGA may not be the entirety of trump voters, but electing trump empowered MAGA. They may not be mindless zealots, but their actions empowered mindless zealots, and they have to own that.
Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for patriotism, or economic anxiety, or to preserve their religious values, or dislike, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed. That word is "Nazi." Nobody cares about their motives anymore.
MAGA will make sure that Georgia never goes D again by removing those who might do so. I don't get this idea that anyone who voted R, knowing everything that is available about the bigoted fascists who they chose to elect, is NOT a mindless idiot.
Yes and on a state level, the GOP controls everything important. Things like census, redistricting, voting, etc. Georgia can vote for Biden, but offering him little in the way of legislative support means nothing. You need both House and Senate together to build a stronger economy.
300,000 children globally are expected to lose access to a "nutrient-dense" peanut butter that’s specially formulated to treat severe acute malnutrition. ... to treat severe acute malnutrition as GA plant loses 35% of its orders, or $12 million- slashed after years of work with USAID.

Cut to commercial.
Between Savannah and Valdosta - southern plains - unlike North Georgia - significant black population and they still there and that 29 to 30% of voters in that county - occasional rare Jimmy Carter like white families there.
