"Many parents who come from the economy can afford, but do not know what it takes her food so the nutritional intake of children is not appropriate," he said.
According to him, it was established since the people of Indonesia that was the basis of livelihood is agriculture, with food that is available from the farm, then move on because of industrialization which then interfere with eating.

"There are about 70 percent of parents who come from the economically capable but do not know about the right foods for their children that need to be educated about nutrition and nutrition even before his mother entered a period of pregnancy," he said.
