5. Seems like the easiest question in the world.
It's great that Nutriset developed this peanut formula. But they can't deliver the needed volume, or deliver at a cost that will allow NGOs to save all the lives that they might save if larger producers made the formula too. Nutriset must be thanked for developing the formula. American agriconglomerates and frankenfood producers aren't "good guys" for wanting to flood belatedly into a new market that they could have easily filled for decades if they had given half a moment's thought to starvation in Africa. But should millions of children die to preserve the sanctity of international patents? No fucking way.
