Excerpt from Malnutrition and School Feeding
One of the most conspicuous by-products of the public-school system is a quickened interest in the physical welfare of the school child. Practically the entire population of the Nation between the ages of 5 and 15 is gathered together for from 6 to 10 months of the year into a great community to receive public instruction. This segregation of the youth of the Nation is beset, from the point of view of public health, with advantages and disadvantages. The chief disadvantages are that the close personal contact of so many individuals facilitates the spread of contagious disease and that the educational process itself places a severe physical strain on growing children. The chief advantages are that it facilitates the regulation of health conditions and that it brings to the attention of the proper authorities physically subnormal children who would otherwise remain undiscovered.
Malnutrition is a term used to indicate a general condition of less than normal physical and mental vigor (25Q.) While the causes of malnutrition are many, incorrect or inadequate diet appears all too often as one of the causes; hence school feeding, which affords not only an opportunity to supplement the home food supply hut also to teach correct food habits, becomes a most valuable agency in combating the evil.

Sound nutrition is a general physiological condition which connotes a healthy body in all respects and the good tone and health of its various constituent parts, its brain and nervous system, its muscular, digestive, circulatory, and lymphatic systems. All this means that we must take a wide and comprehensive view of nutrition, which is a state revealing Itself In a variety of signs and symptoms.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book, a thought-provoking analysis of malnutrition and its impact on school children, delves into the causes, effects, and interventions surrounding this widespread condition. The author, an expert in public health, highlights the historical significance of school feeding programs, tracing their evolution from charitable initiatives to government-supported initiatives, particularly in the United Kingdom and France. Providing a comprehensive understanding of the issue, the book examines the nutritional needs of children and the role of nutrition in their physical and cognitive development. It emphasizes the importance of addressing malnutrition not only as a matter of improving individual health but also as a means of breaking the cycle of poverty and ill health that often accompanies it. The author argues that school feeding programs are a vital tool in combating malnutrition, providing much-needed nourishment to children who may not have access to adequate food at home. The book explores various approaches to school feeding, including meal provision, nutrition education, and family involvement, and discusses the challenges and opportunities associated with each. Ultimately, the book underscores the profound impact that malnutrition has on children's lives and the crucial role that school feeding programs play in addressing this issue. It emphasizes the need for continued research and advocacy to ensure that all children have access to the nutrition they need to thrive.
