Im a man with a high IQ in my late 30's and I wasnt even sure Kenya had food, and their giving this to a second grader?
I mean look at any marathon,does it look like these people are eating?
Jesus when I was in second grade,our big writing assignment was to write a story,and have the teacher bind it in to a book,and we were allowed to make illustrations to fill space. And even then 90 % of the boys books involved either Jedi's or Sharks(Jaws and Star Wars had just come out)
Kenyan's i met were big on beans and Japati.

I think Japati was supposed to be indian originally but taken up by the Kenyans big time.

Damn I can't remember what kind of flour they used to make it - i think maybe corn flour?

They also loved their own special tea. Don't know then Kenyan name for it but it was nice - evil though - served with a LOT of sugar - let just say they had at least 3 sugars per cup and measured them out with tablespoons!
