I am proud to write the Foreword to this distinguished book be-<br >cause I consider it to represent the wave of the future. Certainly<br >it is a clarion call for better nutrition for all our children. I truly<br >believe that if even a modest portion of the people in this country<br >would follow its suggestions， we would have a healthier and hap-<br >pier population.<br > Parents today are aware that the food a child eats influences<br >not only his health but his behavior. They are increasingly con-<br >cerned about eating， but in a different way from previous genera-<br >tions. In the past parents worried chiefly about how much a child<br >ate， now they are interested in what he eats. This book provides<br >the newest， most detailed， specific， comprehensive， and authorita-<br >tive information yet available on nutrition for children. Not only<br >does it clear up parents confusion about the best diet for their<br >child but it also explains when and how to use nutritional supple-<br >ments sensibly to give a child s body the extra boost it needs for<br >maximum health. With increasing threats to their well-being from<br >chemicals in the water， pesticides on fruits and vegetables， and<br >other pollutants， children today need all the protection they can<br >get. This unusual book will help you provide that protection.<br > xiii<br >
