Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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).
Download or read book Developing the Food Guidance System for better Eating for Better Health written by and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The technical development of the food guidance system presented in the nutrition course offered by the American Red Cross is described in this report. The purpose of the course is to enable the consumer to make wise personal food decisions based on current concepts of nutrition for health promotion. The food guidance system organizes information about food and nutrition so that it can be applied to making food selections that promote health. The framework for this system is groups of foods categorized by the nutrients they contain. The first step in the development of the system was the establishment of goals and objectives which specified the desirable levels of nutrients and other food components in one's diet. The framework for the system is described: major food groups, serving sizes and number, nutrient adequacy, and food sources of specific nutrients. The food guidance system also includes information on food sources of fat, cholesterol, sodium, and sweeteners. Menus for 10 days are included, as well as suggestions for adapting them to different energy and nutrient needs. Many tables that are supplied to the students are included. (as).

Download or read book The Intersection of Food and Public Health written by A. Bryce Hoflund and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-09-13 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presently, ideas about food are in flux from a variety of sources. Examples of this evolution include recognizing the importance of food on health by public health and medical professionals; changing consumer desires around the production methods and components of their food; a greater focus on injustices within the national food system; evolving knowledge of how the food system impacts the environment; and, shifting economic and technological realities that underpin where and how food is produced, distributed and sold. These shifting ideas about food exist in contrast to the narrative of the highly functioning, industrialized, global food system that emerged in the second half of the 20th century. This edited volume fills a void by presenting a comprehensive and engaging coverage of the key issues at the intersection of public health, policy, and food. The Intersection of Food and Public Health is comprised of research that examines current problems in food studies and how various stakeholders are attempting to address problems in unique ways. The book will be of interest to undergraduate and graduate students in a variety of disciplines, including public administration, public policy, public health, economics, political science, nutrition, dietetics, and food studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding Food Systems: Agriculture, Food Science, and Nutrition in the United States explores the complex and evolving system from which the United States gets its food. From farm, to home, and everything in-between, the authors use a scientific perspective that explains the fundamentals of agricultural production, food science, and human nutrition that will guide readers through the issues that shape our food system, including political, societal, environmental, economic, and ethical concerns. Presenting the role and impact of technology, from production to processing and safety, to cultural and consumer behavior perspectives, the book also explores the link between food systems and the history of nutrients and diet patterns, and how these influence disease occurrence. Current topics of concern and debate, including the correlations between food systems and diet-related diseases, such as obesity and diabetes are explored, as are the history and current status of food insecurity and accessibility. Throughout the text, readers are exposed to current topics that play important roles in personal food choices and how they influence components of the food system. Presents the evolution of the US food system, from historical beginnings, to current consumer and political roles and responsibilities Provides farm to fork insights on production and consumption practices in the United States Explores complex topics in call-out boxes throughout the text to help readers understand the various perspectives on controversial topics
Download or read book State Monitoring of National School Lunch Program Nutritional Content written by Liisa Hiatt and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As part of the School Meals Initiative (SMI), the U.S. Department of Agriculture-Food and Nutrition Service (USDA-FNS) now requires each state to regularly review the nutritional content of food served by each School Food Authority (SFA) as part of the National School Lunch Program (NSLP). While states must monitor the nutritional content of school meals, they are not required to forward any information to USDA-FNS. However, USDA-FNS is required to measure progress to "ensure that school meals are consistent with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) and the Recommended Daily Allowances (RDA)." To measure progress, USDA-FNS needs to produce state and national aggregations of the nutrient content in school lunches to show that meals in a given state or in the country as a whole are consistent with the DGA and RDA. In addition, FNS needs to do this while imposing minimal reporting burdens on the states. The USDA-FNS contracted with RAND to look more carefully at how some states are performing SMI reviews and how they might be able to transmit data with limited additional burden. In particular, it asked seven states to work collaboratively with RAND--through on-site, in-depth interviews--to explore possible reporting systems: California, Georgia, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Texas, and Wisconsin. These states were chosen as representative of regional differences across the country and of methods for conducting SMI reviews. This report describes the results of the analysis of possible approaches for states to report the results of their nutritional reviews to USDA-FNS.
