Maize meal is the staple diet for the majority of Southern Africa and has no real value to the consumer, bar the fact that they have a full belly, but it is all starch. In 2003, it was estimated that 25% of all children in Southern Africa suffer from moderate to severe stunting, and Sub-Sahara Africa have the highest rates of compromised sight due to a lack of Vitamin A.
