From the Paper:

"According to the United States Department of Agriculture, barely of all toddlers and preschoolers today eat a balanced diet (Schaaf 2002), a serious health concern to all, especially to parents. Undersecretary of Food, Nutrition and Consumer Services Shirley Watkins ascribes the situation to the fact that, when these young children stop being breastfed and receiving baby foods in jars, their regular servings of milk, fruits and vegetables do not replace the nutrients they used to get from breast milk and jarred baby foods."
