The Government recognises the importance of nutrition for children in their early years, which are the foundation for their healthy growth and development, said Minister of State for Education and Social and Family Development Sun Xueling.
She was commenting on a National University of Singapore (NUS) study which found that poor eating and nutrition habits in young children were significantly linked to behavioural problems, and that children from lower socio-economic backgrounds had unhealthier diets.
