摘要：The popularity of eating out is a
growing threat to the nutritional
quality of children¡¯s
diets. American children typically
eat too much fat, saturated fat, and
sodium, and not enough fiber and
calcium. Foods kids eat away from
home are even higher in fat, saturated
fat, and sodium and lower in
cholesterol, fiber, calcium, and iron
than foods eaten at home. The
exception is school foods, which
provide higher amounts of fiber and
calcium than all other foods. Children
of all ages and both genders
eat too much fat and saturated fat,
but some dietary deficiencies vary
by age and gender: excessive intake
of cholesterol and sodium is a problem
facing many male teens while
female teens face insufficient intake
of iron and calcium.
