“…Owen and Dram (1969) studying nutritional status in Mississippi preschool children found not only that the poorer children were on the average smaller than more affluent children but that their diets were significantly low in calories, vitamin C, calcium and riboflavin. Dibble, et al (1965) in Onondaga County, New York found that among students drawn from a junior high school which was 94 per cent Negro and predominantly laboring class, 41 per cent had come to school without breakfast; but in two "overwhelmingly white" junior high schools, only 7 per cent in one school and 4 per cent in the other had skipped breakfast. In recent studies among teen-agers in Berkeley, California, Hampton et al (1967) and Huenemann et al (1968) have found intakes of all nutrients declining with socioeconomic status, with Negro girls and boys having worse intakes than those in other ethnic groups.…”
