Importance of Programs

Without a proper diet children can lack proper brain development and may suffer from malnutrition. It is important for food programs such as these in schools because some students may receive all their meals from school. Without a well balanced diet it could cause a child's brain to not develop normally. Children may be malnourished and could possibly suffer from Protein-calorie malnutrition. In the long run if children do suffer from lack of nutrients it will not only impede brain growth but effect their ability to learn as well.
