Faced with a generation of young people who are overweight and undernourished, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans underscores the concern about the health of our children. Through the National Dairy Council, dairy farmers have supported child nutrition research, education and communication in their communities and schools for more than 90 years – providing unparalleled insight into the health challenges faced by schools, parents and children.

Dairy foods provide critical nutrients that help improve children’s overall diet and health. The National Dairy Council offers valuable information and resources designed to help health care professionals, school nutrition professionals and teachers ensure that children 9 years of age and older get the Dietary Guidelines for Americans’ recommended three servings of low-fat and fat-free dairy foods every day.
