Sending a child to be without supper on occasion does not make them "malnourished."
My three year old goes on hunger strikes. Won't eat dinner, or breakfast the following morning but boy will he eat lunch after skipping two meals.
Hmmm... I must be endangering my child by not FORCING him to eat. Next time I'll have to crank up the ol' IV machine lest Child Protective Services think I'm not feeding my child!
