A little more on kids nutrition…  While it’s true that we’ve all become continually aware of the importance of good nutrition for everyone, including our children, the sad fact remains that some kids only get balanced, nutritious meals at school.

And wonderfully, programs like the “Special Milk Program”, “National School Lunch Program” and the “National School Breakfast Program” feed millions of kids properly everyday.  Programs like these got started  as early as the fifties and were eventually signed into law by President Johnson under the “Child Nutrition Act” (CNA) in 1966.  When signing, the President remarked, “good food is essential to good learning.”

But reflecting on all this brings to ones attention that these programs are long lived.  Many budget cuts and changes have occurred, not to mention the national meal requirement standards have not been updated in over a decade.  Revisions are not expected to be funded as requested by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture.  So, this brings responsibilities back to the home  and parents of each child. I strongly urge anyone who is responsible for young growing children and infants to do their best to make sure those kids get at least their minimum required nutrients for healthy growth.

Again, be aware that there are plenty of drink mix powder vitamins, liquid vitamins and chewables that form multivitamins and multivite complexes that are not only easy but enjoyable for everyone to take, even children.  Help  insure all of our futures by seeing the young growing people around you are fed the proper nutrition.  And, as always, for obvious reasons, I feel any nutrition program that adheres to the principle of cellular nutrition will be the most effective.
