Sugar-sweetened beverages are a top contributor to intakes of added sugars. Sugar-sweetened beverages are not necessary in the child or adolescent diet nor are they a component of the USDA Dietary Patterns. Dairy and fortified soy alternatives. Dairy and fortified soy alternatives provide protein and a variety of nutrients that are underconsumed during these life stages. Adolescent nutrition. The difference between recommended food group amounts and current intakes is greater for adolescents ages 14 through 18 years than for any other age group across the lifespan. Supporting Healthy Eating: Children and Adolescents Expose young children to a variety of nutrient-dense foods within each food group to help build a healthy dietary pattern. Offer the same type of food to children multiple times, in different forms, to increase acceptance. Create environments that support healthy eating at home, school and in communities.  Resources: Children and Adolescents Federal Programs SNAP Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program WIC Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children CACFP Child and Adult Care Food Program NSLP/ National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast SBP Program SFSP Summer Food Service Program
