Cal. Health & Safety Code § 123275 — Women, Infants, and Children’s Nutrition is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.
The Legislature finds that medical, educational and psychological evidence increasingly points to adequate nutrition as a determinant not only of good physical health but also of full intellectual development and educational achievement, with adequate nutrition in the earliest months and years being particularly important for full development of the child’s mind and body, that problems of child nutrition cut across income lines and can result not only from low income but also from parental ignorance or neglect and that there is a need for a statewide child nutrition program that has the potential of reaching all pregnant women and mothers of infants.
