In the 1960s, she was asked to help manage a program to improve nutrition in her country. At that time, most advice on nutrition came from North American and European countries. Nutritionists suggested foods that were common and worked well for people who lived in these nations. For example, they told poor Indian women to eat more meat and eggs and drink more orange juice. But Lakshmi knew this advice was useless in a country like India. People there didnt eat such foods. They werent easy to find. And for the poor, such foods were too expensive. Lakshmi knew that for the program to work, it had to fit Indian culture. So she decided to adjust the nutrition program. She first found out what healthy middle-class people in India ate. She took note of the nutrients ( 营养物) available in those foods. Then she looked for cheap, easy-to-find foods that would provide the same nutrients. She created a balanced diet of locally grown fruits, vegetables, and grains. These foods were cheap and could be cooked with simple equipment. Her ideas were thought unusual in the 1960s. For example, she insisted that a diet without meat could provide all major nutrients. Now we know she was right. But it took her continuous e orts to get others to finally accept her diet about 50 years ago. Because of Lakshmis program, Indian children almost doubled their food intake. And many children who would have been hungry and ill grew healthy and strong. 【文章大意】 拉克希米负责一个改善印度人饮食营养的项目， 她没有照搬西方人的建议，而是调整了她的营养计划，来适应印度人 的实
