intent to reduce the prevalence of inadequate intakes of nutrients² among schoolchildren (Criterion 1 in Box 2-2) rather than simply ensure that the mean intake equals the RDA.³ In choosing Nutrient Targets that are high

²	That is, a low prevalence of intakes below the Estimated Average Requirement.
³	Although intake at the RDA should result in a low probability of inadequacy for a given individual, mean intake at the RDA for a group of people does not usually result in a low
