Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) is a federally-funded program designed to provide healthy meals and snacks to children and adults while receiving day care at participating family day care homes, traditional child care centers, afterschool facilities, adult care facilities, and emergency shelters. CACFP has the broadest scope of any of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) food program, serving more than 3 million children and 114,000 adults across the nation. To receive reimbursement for the foods served, participating programs must abide by requirements set by the USDA. Child and Adult Care Food Program assesses the nutritional needs of the CACFP population based on Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) and makes recommendations for revisions to the CACFP meal requirements. The book outlines meal requirements that include food specifications that could be used for specific meals and across a full day, covering all age groups from infants to older adults and meal patterns designed for use in a variety of settings, including in-home care and in large centers. By implementing these meal requirements, consumption of fruits, vegetables, and whole-grain rich foods will increase while consumption of solid fats, added sugars, and sodium will decrease. Not only will this address the high prevalence of childhood obesity, it will also help to achieve consistency with the standards and regulations of other USDA nutrition assistance programs, particularly the Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), and the National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs. Child and Adult Care Food Program makes practical recommendations that would bring CACFP meals and snacks into alignment with current dietary guidance. The book will serve as a vital resource for federal and state public health officials, care providers working in child and adult day care facilities, WIC agencies, officials working with the National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs, and other organizations serving at-risk populations.

Book excerpt: Abstract: Areas in USDA's Child Care Food Program in which program management could be improved and areas affected by recent legislation are identified. Of 131 meals tested at 80 selected feeding sites, 81 meals at 52 sites did not meet USDA's minimum nutritional standards for weight or contain required meal components. Other unacceptable services and financial accountability deficiencies also were discovered. Recommendations were made to the Secretary of Agriculture to direct the administrator of the Food and Nutrition Service to establish an effective monitoring system for feeding site conditions and to secure compliance with USDA meal standards. USDA responses to the study recommendations are discussed. USDA accepted GAO's general recommendation that the program management be improved at all program levels. (wz).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Care and Preservation of Food in the Home The health and efficiency of a community are largely dependent upon its food. It is not only essential that the community have an adequate food supply, but that it should be a clean and uncontaminated food supply as well. Much is being done by federal, state and local authorities to provide pure and clean food for the public, but more could be done if the woman in the home had a more thorough knowledge of the various sources of food contamination, and would co-operate with the authorities by refusing to purchase foods from stores which do not meet the sanitary requirements. It is also essential that the home maker should watch the care of food in her own home. There are many sources of food contamination in the home, and most housekeepers are guilty of neglect along these lines. Unlike charity, the care and preservation of food should begin, not at home, but outside of the home at the various places of production and distribution, but the same care and vigilance must also prevail in its handling in the home if we are to have a clean and wholesome food supply. The care and preservation of foods is also an economic question, and is becoming a matter of greater importance as food increases in price. If this nation is to successfully feed her growing millions, her people must not only learn to produce far more per acre, but they must learn to utilize to better advantage everything produced. The misuse and waste of foods account for the bankruptcy of many firms and many households. Micro-organisms Why Foods Spoil. There are two main causes for the spoiling of foods: First, normally there occur in foods, such as fruits, - vegetables, eggs, meats, and seeds of all plants, certain processes, called life processes, which cause the fruit to ripen, seeds to grow, and meat to soften, and which lead to decay. Second, there are present in or on the foods certain minute living organisms which feed on them and change them so that they cease to be desirable, and may even become harmful to us.
