¿Cuándo fue la última vez que revisaste la etiqueta de un alimento antes de darle un bocado? Si eres como la mayoría de las personas en África occidental, la respuesta probablemente sea casi nunca, o solo cuando algo parece sospechoso. No es de extrañar que palabras como “fortificación” y “etiqueta de alimentos” suenen más a una clase de química de colegio que a una preocupación cotidiana.

War often reduces entire cultures and countries to one over-simplified narrative, particularly in the domain of news. Ukraine was first invaded by Russia in 2014, and then again in 2022, and that story dominates the vast majority of media coverage on Ukraine, given the extent of death and destruction, but also the resistance demonstrated by the Ukrainian people.
