A new fortified filled cake, approved by the Department of Agriculture for the school breakfast program, is conveni ent and contains all the requir ed nutrients, but some nutri tionists are having second thoughts about the product. They think it encourages children to move away from eating the Basic Four foods and to rely on a concentrate. They also think the cake will encourage children to eat more sweets and will increase the difficulty of teachers and nu tritionists in training children to eat a good diet TRY A CLASSIFIED AD!
