摘要:Dairy foods such as milk, cheese, and yogurt are a key component of meals and
snacks offered in federally sponsored child nutrition programs. These foods are
the principal source of calcium and provide protein, vitamin D (if fortified),
and other vitamins and minerals needed for children’s growth and development.
Unfortunately, children’s consumption of Milk Group foods falls short of the
currently recommended 2 to 3 daily servings, resulting in low intakes of calcium
and vitamin D and increased risk of disorders such as poor bone health.
