We started to consume enormous quantities of milk powder in Africa. On one hand, during our long desert walks we needed nutriments that are rich in nutrients. On the other hand, its protein/calories/price ratio is exceptional. To put it another way: we'd love to eat meat and cheese, but often we don't have the means to pay for that kind of food.
During the last months we've eaten lots of milk powder. Milk powder + sugar + water + biscuits, we were on that diet for weeks, sometimes. And believe me, on that diet one starts to feel a light break down quickly: strange stinging abdominal pain, painful defecation, dull ache in the joints. You learn to hate it. But we love it, no matter what. We have to. I think if there's no milk powder, there's nothing else that provides a chance of survival at this price level.
