Good nutrition is a key to improving the lives of Ugandans and informed citizens are the key to improving nutrition according to Uganda's first lady, Janet Museveni in an editorial column in Kampala's Daily Monitor.  She said she was "encouraged to note that in Uganda we now commonly consume iodized salt."
