Abstract

Ray C Wunderlich, Jr. The developing child is a psychosocial and biological entity that requires optimal nourishment for optimal functioning. Nourish- ment derives from inputs in the areas of vision, audition, touch, movement, love, and food. A nutritional suboptimum often exists as a common thread in either the child or the family of the child who is identified as a maladaptor in school or society. Inadequate or improper body chemistry is a biological factor that cuts a child off from his environment, dulls him to the reception of environmental stimuli, and accounts for poor interaction with family members and associates. Disturbed body chemistry stems from improper diet—either in the life of the child or in the child's forebears over several generations. The American Nutritional Experiment The American population is presently experiencing the third or fourth generation of exposure to "bad food." Many of us, however, understand that we have all been subjects in a mam- moth nutritional experiment which has no controls and no pre- Ray C.
