Thank you.
I've been intrigued here this morning with your presentations.
I have one little story. I remember, back when I was a teenager, I bought some calves at a community auction sale. One of them had a big goitre. When I brought it home, I thought, “I can't spend a lot of money, but I should talk to a veterinarian”. I talked to a veterinarian, and he said I couldn't afford him, but if I gave that calf iodine it would get rid of the goitre. Wouldn't you know, I went home and got my mother's iodine drops, I put a couple of drops of iodine in the milk that I fed this calf, and within a week the goitre was gone.
So yes, we don't need all the fancy stuff. If we look at the micronutrients that are natural out there, as you have explained today, those things will work. Most of our foods, at least our processed foods, are fortified. They do have vitamins and minerals or some of these things in them. I do understand what micronutrient initiatives can be in these countries.
My question is on the infrastructure to deliver these programs. Is there an infrastructure, or is it very hard to set up an infrastructure in these areas in Africa, say, to get to these people? Is that infrastructure readily available? Is there a problem getting the local communities involved when you come in with a program? Do we need more community participation? Do the local communities carry on these programs after you leave, and what is the success rate with that?
I know there are a few questions there. I put that out there for you.
