JAKARTA - The Free Nutrition Food Program (MBG) which was held at Posyandu Dahlia, Susukan area, Ciracas District, East Jakarta, was again complained by the public on Friday, January 10.

The complaint is aimed at MBG food served to the public.

"I think the side dishes are still lacking. If possible, add fish side dishes," Windi (30) told reporters, Friday, January 10.

Windi hopes that the side dishes provided can be in the form of fish as a protein intake.

Please note, currently the MBG menu served in this activity is spice rice, butter sauce eggs, labu siam meatballs, oranges and packaged milk.

In addition, a complaint was also conveyed by Kamini (35) a breastfeeding mother. According to her, proper side dishes for breastfeeding women must have chickens and eggs and meat.

"But don't be too loud (the meat), most people get tough ones, just the easy ones," he said.

Kamini hopes that the packaged milk given in the MBG menu should be in the form of plain milk (pure milk) because it is worried that the sugar content is too high.

"The most milk must be plain, yes, if the packaging is a lot of sugar," explained Kamini.

The free nutritious food program (MBG) is one of the strategic steps taken by the government to prevent stunting, obesity, and other malanutrition.

Spokesperson for the Presidential Communication Office, Prita Laura, said that the free nutritious food program is currently given once a week to pregnant, breastfeeding and toddlers.

"Through this posyandu, we ensure that MBG can protect children from the threat of stunting and other malanutrition that can have an impact on their quality of life in the future," he said.
