Getting the results you pay for

A scientist from the US Agricultural Research Service performed a nutrition experiment in Africa.

The 544 children studied had been raised on diets chiefly consisting of starchy, low-nutrition corn and bean staples lacking these micronutrients. This meant they were already malnourished. Over two years, some of the children were given 2oz supplements of meat each day, equivalent to about two spoonfuls of mince.

These children grew more and performed better on problem-solving and intelligence tests than any of the other children at the end of the two years.
