title: Use of fats and oils in child feeding.
abstract: The nutritional status of mal- or undernourished children can be improved by increasing their dietary intake of calories. Where this is liable to be restricted by the sheer bulk of the diet, alternative feeding programmes may be called for. A more fundamental solution is to increase the calorie density of the diet by the addition of fat. Cost may, however, be an overriding factor.
