Abstract
Recent nutritional surveys suggest that diets in the United States are often inadequate in one or more nutrients. In the West Virginia Nutrition Survey, 1969, unacceptable nutrient levels were most prevalent in children under seventeen years of age. Preliminary biochemical data resulting from the survey suggest that iron, vitamin A, and ascorbic acid are inadequately consumed. School lunches, as defined by the National School Lunch Program, are supposed to contribute a significant portion of the nutrients required daily by children.
