Jacki talks with Professor Peter Pellet, head of the Nutrition Department at the University of Massachusetts, about a report he helped write on malnutrition in Iraq. He recently returned from a Iraq with a group that was given free reign to travel throughout the country. He says they discovered that millions of people are malnourished in Iraq and he blames the UN sanctions for the worsening situation. He says because Iraq cannot sell its oil, it cannot buy the food its people need.
