It just means that our children could well be suffering from malnutrition of some required nutrients.
So what went wrong with our food? Why are our children not getting the intended nutrition?

"Kids who learn to eat great at an early age are more likely to stay healthy... as they age""In my opinion, children over one year of age should be on nutritional supplementation... supplementation with vitamins and minerals should be used in addition to a healthy diet." -from Dr Christine Wood, M.D.Practicing pediatrician, educator and author of the book, "How to get kids to eat great and love it"
