Changes were made to the proper diet guidelines of children's nutrition in the U.S.

New guidelines released today by a leading U.S. pediatricians group urge a more practical, commonsense approach toward nutrition to help improve children's diets and health, both in school and at home.

The guidelines come in a policy statement from the American Academy of Pediatrics, offering the organization's latest thinking on foods and nutrition. The statement encourages a broader dietary pattern that is focused more on what children — and adults, too — should eat, rather than what they shouldn't. (MTI)
