Momofuku Ando
Momofuku Ando the inventor of the Ramen noodle and thereby sustainer of millions of college students has died at age 96. Mr. Ando founded the Nissin Food Products company in 1948 seeking to answer the serious food shortages faced by a post-war nation.
“Peace prevails when food suffices,” he said.
The Chicago Tribune article also says that “…the focus on convenience, taste, shelf life and price turned Nissin into a $3 billion multinational corporation with 29 subsidiaries in 11 countries.”
And honestly we are sure the noodles are still good, but you should know that Mr. Ando ate a lunch meal of noodles with his employees just before taking ill.
