By N.A.de S. AmaratungaAdequate nutrition is vital for both physical as well as mental growth and development of the human being. If this development is inadequate the whole nation would not advance in all spheres of human activity, the economic, cultural, sports etc. Though inflation may have come down, prices of these essential food items have remained high. At present these items are not within their reach and they cannot buy sufficient quantities required for adequate nutrition. Though vegetables are not too expensive people do not buy them in sufficient quantities required for adequate nutrition.
