Nutrition project gives rural kids enough food for thought

China Daily  

A child has his free lunch at a kindergarten in Congjiang, Guizhou province, on Sept 15, 2023. It details the principles of balanced meals, encourages healthy eating habits, and offers tips to prevent picky eating for preschool children. A small blackboard hangs by the kitchen window, listing today's menu: chicken stewed with mushrooms, pork ribs stewed with corn, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and stir-fried cabbage with carrots. "Back then, we didn't really get nutrition; we just made sure they weren't hungry," said Peng. Tian Hong, associate dean of the college and lead writer of the preschoolers' nutrition improvement report, said the children's daily intake of trace elements such as calcium, iron, and zinc, as well as vitamins, generally fell below national standards in the past.
