But what will grad students eat? Sure, it's all caviar and champagne for me now that I'm a high-paid PUI prof (ha), but I can still remember my PB&J days.
I was listening to a podcast the other day (I think it was Dispatches, from the CBC) about how peanuts are the most important component of a paste called PlumpyNut that they use to treat severely malnourished children in famine zones. The manufacturer (a small company that doesn't want to sell out to any of the big guys just yet) were already having problems meeting the demand for the product, which apparently works miracles, and now they're truly hooped. I hope they can find an alternative soon.
(found it! It was Dispatches, which I whole heartedly recommend by the way.

Ramen, of course!
Luckily, I've already stocked up with a giant tub of peanut butter.
Ack..what are students supposed to eat any more? I loathe Ramen. I tried to eat it as an alternative but I had to revert to the PBandJ.
