When ONE.org asked me to help raise awareness about their campaignto fight chronic malnutrition, using the humble sweetpotato, I had one important question…if I agreed, would I get some kind of totebag? When I was informed there was no tote bag, I decided tocheck out their info anyway, and I’m very glad I did. While I was shocked to learnthat millions of children die each year from malnutrition, it was heartening tolearn what a huge difference this delicious “super-food” could make.
To help spread the word, I offer up this colorful, and verytasty, roasted sweet potato and black bean chili. I really enjoyed this 100%vegetarian version, and the extra step of roasting the potatoes not onlyconcentrated the sweet, earthy flavors, but gave the starchy chunks amarvelously meaty texture.Anyway, I’m going to sign off so I can go add “Helped Bono fightchildhood malnutrition” to my resume, but I sincerely hope you take a minute and check outOne.org for more information about this sweet potato campaign, as well as sign the nutrition petition. Thank you, and as always, enjoy!
