Food Consumption Diversification Using Food Desirable Pattern Approach in Nutritionally Vulnerable Regencies

Abstract

To divers& foods is an important aspect of food consumption since certain food doesn't supply all nutrients completely. Adequate and diverse food cot~sumption will guarantee thejirIIfiIlntent of variabilty of n~rtrieritsn eeded for organs and physiological systenl firnctioning normally and balance. This slue was done in nutritionally vulnerable regencies
