Mrs. S informs you that in order to prevent excess fat accumulation she is feeding her 1-year-old daughter a low-fat diet. You explain that:
1. Studies have shown that children who are not on a low-fat diet often develop coronary disease as adults.
2. It is never too early to worry about childhood obesity.
3. Fat is an extremely important component in the diet of children under the age of two.
4. Children should be switched to a low-fat diet when they reach their first birthday.

Rationale: Childhood obesity has been linked with adult coronary disease, but a high-fat diet is essential for development in children age two and younger. Children under the age of two years require a high-fat diet for proper development of the brain and nervous system. Fat is an extremely important component in the diet of children under the age of two because it is needed for the development of the brain and nervous system. Children on a low-fat diet have shown a measurable decrease on mental and psychomotor scores.
