Leonie Joubert spoke at TEDxCapeTown on “Looking for the optimal diet for us and the environment”.

She relates how, while researching her book, The Hungry Season: Feeding Southern Africa’s Cities, she was shocked to see children being given white bread soaked in sugar water for breakfast from a food kitchen, but later discovered that this was common. She also found out that 1 in 5 South African children are so poorly nourished that many of them will arrive at school with a lower IQ than they could have had.
