Taller Children
Are A Result
Of Better Foods
University Park, Pa.
“American farmers are pro
ducing some of the best food
in the world today,” says Dr.
E. B. Larson, director, Co
operative Extension Service of
the Pennsylvania State Univer
sity.
This high-quality food con
tributes to better diets, now
one of the big reasons why
children are growing taller and
Sturdier than their parents or
their grandparents were at
the same age. The good nutri
tion that brings better health
also helps a child reach the
full body build that his inher
ited genes allow him. For ex
ample, a K.ne-yeai-old boy to
day averages an inch or mors
taller than a boy a genera
tion ago.
Another benefit from this
high-quality food is the long

pectancy in this county was
about 47 years. Today it’s
around 70. But in many coun
tries where malnutrition and
disease take heavy tolls life
expectancy is 35 to 45 years.
“We can look to the strik
ing decline m infant deaths
as one of our greatest accom
plishments,” Dr. Larson states.
“Infant mortality in 1961 was
about 25 in 1,000. Better nu
trition for mothers, plus good
medical care, has played an
important role.
“With farmers growing
higher quality crops and live
stock, we’re getting more divi
dends in health from the food
we eat,” he adds. “But as a
nation, our main nutritional
fault now is that we’re inclin
ed to enjoy too many calories ”
