2.6kgs of Posho, Can Push One For 10 days
The president of Uganda H: E Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has said that its possible for one to consume 2.6kgs of maize flour in ten(10) days, he said this while addressing a cabinet seating that was held yesterday.
While chairing a cabinet meeting at Entebbe State House, Museveni asked to challenge themselves to understand the rationale behind the allocations of relief food to the people.
The scientific conclusion they arrived at was that 250gs of Posho is optimal for consumption (per meal for each individual) in this situation, hence this means that consumption of 2.6kgs of posho, about 10 days are possible.
Hence, if each individual can consume about 250gs of the relief Posho per meal, you can obtain enough calories to enable you to considerably survive for quite some time. he also called upon Ugandans to avoid consuming the food distributed by government wastefully.he had this to say
”I asked the kitchen staff to prepare 1kg of the maize flour from the food being distributed by the COVID-19 relief team. My intention was to understand how an individual can consume this food optimally during this period.
I had earlier consulted scientists on how much food calories an individual can consume in a single day sustainably and they said 250g of posho would be of enough calorie composition for a single individual intake.
Now is the food being distributed enough? It is optimum if we can ration the intake with a mind that we can not consume as much as we have always wanted, but can survive on an economical consumption”.
