Answer: The correct answer is; Children have been weaned from breast milk early and onto low protein diets.
Explanation:
Kwashiorkor is when a child suffers from a malnutrition from not having enough proteins. The children can get Kwashiorkor between the ages of 2 to 5, but can appear later. This is only diagnosed in severe cases where the area is in a famine or has a very poor food supply.
The breast milk keeps the children with the amino acids needs and when they are weaned in these places with little or no food, they are fed a gruel of oatmeal or filling food with just a little protein and high sugar content. One of the signs of this disease is swelling of the ankles and even the feet of the children.
