Abstract
This informal paper is a personal account of the development of my work on malnourished children, starting with clinical studies in Jamaica and the challenge of an unacceptably high mortality rate; moving on to the problem of how to define less severe malnutrition in the community; and ending with some reflections on the enormously difficult question of prevention and the contribution that richer countries such as the UK could make.
