A Delicious Idea

If you saw a jar of Nutella — the chocolate-hazelnut spread — on your kitchen table, you might be tempted to reach for it, open it and wipe some on a roll to eat. But one day when André Briend spied a jar of Nutella in his kitchen, something else happened.
The French pediatrician got an idea: develop a sweet, high-calorie, peanut-based spread that is fortified with vitamins and minerals, and then use it to alleviate starvation in Africa. Briend called his spread Plumpy'nut, and it was credited for saving 1.9 million lives.
