Economists: $60 million in vitamin A, zinc yields $1 billion in value

Eight of the world's leading economists, including five Nobel prize winners, ranked supplying vitamin A and zinc to 140 million malnourished children as the number one world priority, according to a press release from the Copenhagen Consensus Conference. The conference was a 2-year project involving 50 top economists who considered possible solutions to the world's top problems. They found that each dollar spent to deliver these nutrients to children would return $17 in value. This solution beat out solutions to terrorism, global warming, AIDS, sanitation, trade barriers and every other issue.

Steve - wow - for anyone out there who still questions the value of supplemental vitamins and good nutrition, please attention to these experts.
