Animal food and children's growth

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  11 September 2013

In a nutshell

In children at nutritional risk who are eating low amounts of animal food, a moderate increase in intake can enhance psychomotor and other aspects of growth.

As public health policy, seeking ways to achieve this increase makes sense, so long as the impact of such changes on a country and global scale, for example on agriculture, are considered.
