ADDITIONAL CALORIES

It is on actual fact that many children are well fed, but still undernourished.

Mothers can include more calories in the diet of their children by adding an extra amount of KLIM to a milk dish in addition to that which the recipe calls for.-A dish with more food ralus and one of creamier and more palatable texture results. For example you can add an extra tablespoon of Klim to a cream soup, custard or omelette, thus adding 12 calories to the diet.

A famous food authority specialising in children's diets said "I wish that every mother could know about creaming vegetables with. KLIM. Growing children should not be deprived of minerals so much needed by their systems."
