“One story that I really pushed to do at 60 Minutes was a story about something called Plumpy'Nut,” said Anderson Cooper. For the 2007 report, Cooper traveled to Niger, where child malnutrition was so widespread that many mothers had watched at least one of their children die. “To be in a ward where children are dying and talk to the mothers and the nurses and the doctors who are trying to save them, those are hard stories to watch,” said Cooper. Plumpy’Nut, a nutritional peanut paste, helped bring severely malnourished children back from the brink of death. The report inspired Mark Moore to build a factory in rural Georgia to produce a similar nutritional paste, helping expand access for children in need worldwide.
