Fat Dietary fat plays an important roll in overall health and is necessary to the diet. The problem is consuming an excess of fat. Be sure and consult your Pediatrician about your child's daily fat requirement. Infants and children under two need high levels of fat for proper growth and development. Cutting fat could result in problems in terms of maturity of body organs such as the liver, spleen, kidneys and brain and could even stunt the growth of your child. Children get most of their fat intake from: red meat in the form of hamburgers, cheeseburgers, meat loaf hot dogs, ham, luncheon meats whole milk, ice cream, cheese commercially baked goods fried foods
