This is so sad...many impoverished human beings without access to proper nutrition nor the knowledge of it. So many things stacked against them. Please, consider making regular contributions to your local food banks.

Sorry, the title I gave that link is misleading. It's not about nutrition, it's about how stressors associated with low socioeconomic status affect brain chemistry.

We assessed parent-reported family income, parent education, occupational prestige, neighborhood risk, food insecurity, and household chaos for 12-month-old infants (N=90) and 3.5-year-old children (N=91).

It's not the only finding like this, I've seen several over the years about the effects the stress of poverty has on brain chemistry.

Further to your suggestion about food banks, I'd suggest making cash donations so that the food bank staff can buy what's needed and most practical. No one thinks of pads and tampons for example.
