Bookwalter concludes: “My general impression of both
the MFM and student participants was extremely high.
MFM has a highly productive research program with a
small staff. The student participants were all intelligent and
well educated. I’ve never seen so much friendliness,
enthusiasm, discussion, and dedication, both within MFM
personnel and the student participants. I left with the feeling
that a great deal of good would come from this.” Address:

• Summary: “According to information obtained from
Meals for Millions workers, who were doing field work in
Ecuador, a group of Ecuadoreans living in the Sierras have
adopted home-grown soybeans as a daily food prepared in
their home. The food product called Matchaka consists of
whole soybeans that are toasted then ground in hand coffee
mills. Coarse sugar is added and the mixture is eaten as a
dry snack. Previously corn was used to prepare this
product.” (Cited by H.L. Wang, et al. 1979. Soybeans as
human food–Unprocessed and simply processed. p. 33).
