*CW: child neglect and abuse.
MOVE has always bragged about the health/strength of the children raised in MOVE were even more exceptional because they were raised as the "pure generation" under MOVE Law - the teachings of John Africa but the reality was the children were sick with diseases like Kwashiorkor which is only seen in developing countries experiencing famine.
What are the signs and symptoms of kwashiorkor?

Edema (swelling with fluid, especially in the ankles and feet).
Bloated stomach with ascites (a build-up of fluid in the abdominal cavity).
Dry, brittle hair, hair loss and loss of pigment in hair.
Dermatitis — dry, peeling skin, scaly patches or red patches.
Enlarged liver, a symptom of fatty liver disease.
Depleted muscle mass but retained subcutaneous fat (under the skin).
Dehydration.
Loss of appetite (anorexia).
Irritability and fatigue.
Stunted growth in children.
