Children can suffer from a variety of diseases as a result of poor nutition; for example, a deficiency of vitamin D leads to a bone disease called rickets; lack of vitamin A impairs vision (or can even cause blindness), lack of vitamin C causes scurvy, etc. Children who suffer from poor nutrition will not grow up to be healthy adults.
