U.S., Mexican companies join forces to bring fortified coffee to malnourished kids in Chiapas
Tagged: children, MexicoPosted on: November 14th, 2007
A U.S. company and a popular Mexican coffee producer are teaming up to help improve the nutrition of kids in southern Mexico through an unusual and controversial source: coffee.
Houston-based Voyava Republic and the coffee cooperative La Selva say they have a way to fortify coffee with folic acid and other nutrients, and they want to start giving it to elementary school children next year in the impoverished state of Chiapas.
The plan, however, is already drawing criticism. State officials doubt they will approve it because they don’t believe elementary school kids should be drinking coffee — fortified or otherwise. Experts say milk and other whole foods are the best way to help malnourished kids.”*
