The protection of infant and young child feeding is often neglected in humanitarian response, seen as a minor or secondary intervention, despite the vulnerability of children under 2 years of age and their caregivers. #HopefulFutures #HealthForAll #WorldHealthDay saludeverywhere.com/en/health-in...

President Trump wants to return to the era before the 1913 income tax. Why? The US implemented an income tax to make the robber barons pay their share.That's why Trump hates it. His view, let the robber barons of yesteryear & the tech bros of today keep theirs. And make sure that everyone else pays.
Why did we start taxing income in 1913?
“Too much of the revenue… is to be derived from the tariff on necessities of household use.”

Lesotho got hit with the highest tariff rate. 14% of Lesotho’s GNI is dependent on US trade. 50% of its people live on less than $5 a day, 32% live on less than $1.90 a day.

Students: do not plagiarize your work with AI. First, because you need to learn how to write research papers and literature reviews (and you learn by writing and making mistakes). Second, the AI often writes in a distinctive manner and includes false references. Both are easy to detect.

Nutrition is the key determinant to health. It's staggering that nearly 3 billion people cannot afford a healthy diet.
I arrived in Paris to join President Emmanuel Macron & health leaders at the Nutrition for Growth Summit, as we need continued investment and a laser-focus on ending malnutrition.
