“Nutritional materials must be
made available for use in art, mus
ic, social studies, math, and lan
guage classes,” emphasized the
Dairy Council vice-president.
Newly-developed lessons include
exercises designed for use by clus

by teaching and helping each
other, and materials aimed at the
growing numbers of diverse cul

nation.
“Schools are becoming child

Steinbach noted, citing the steady
growth of the school breakfast
program. “School meals make a
significant contribution to their
daily dietary intake.”
Some 5.3 million children now
eat breakfast at school, compared

Projecting ahead, Dr. Steinbach
predicted that medical strides in
genetic research will replace
across-the-board health recom
mendations with individual diet
and exercise programs, based on
each person’s own genetic
strengths and weaknesses.
“Look for Dairy Council to take
a lead in helping to develop indivi
dual diet materials in the future,”
he predicted.
