A22-Lancaster Farming, Saturday, April 7,1990
SYRACUSE, NY It is criti
cally important to improve the
nutritional intake of school chil
dren, said Ellen Laßerge, corpo
rate counsel for Dairy lea Coopera
tive Inc., in support of
government-funded school nutri
tion programs.
Testifying March 13 before the
New York State Assembly Stand
ing Committee on Education and
the Task Force on Food, Farm and
Nutrition Policy, Laßerge said
that Dairylea is a strong proponent
of measures aimed at bettering
nutrition for school children, a
segment of society shown to be
digesting too many “empty calo
ries” and not enough foods from
the primary food groups of dairy,
meat, grains, and fruits and
vegetables.

Dairylea Cooperative Supports School Nutrition
which would expand the school
breakfast program to all schools
with a lunch program. Laßerge
noted that studies have shown
nutrition can affect an individual’s
capacity to think, reason, remem
ber and attend to information, and
that skipping breakfast weakens
the problem-solving performance
of even well-nourished children.
Laßerge said Dairylea also sup
ports continuing nutrition educa
tion in schools, beginning at the
earliest grades. “Even if children
have access to nutritious foods,
they must be educated about the
importance of choosing those
foods over less nutritious items,”
said Laßerge.
Although Dairylea supports the
intent of the proposed legislation,
the cooperative cautions against
establishing, by statute, guidelines
for reducing fat and cholesterol.

“There is still disagreement at the
national and state levels as to what
acceptable, or even realistic, stan
dards are or shoudl be. The enact
ment of piecemeal legislation only
fuels this disagreement,” said
Laßerge.
Dairylea’s corporate council
also stressed that each child’s
inherent uniqueness affects his
appropriate nutritional standards.
“If guidelines are to be adopted,
