Nutrition: Eating for Good Health

United States Department of Agriculture

No 309699, Agricultural Information Bulletins from United States Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service

Abstract: Excerpts from the Foreword: Nutrition: Eating for Good Health presents all aspects of nutrition for which the U.S. Department of Agriculture has responsibility, including nutrition guidance, Federal food assistance programs, and state-of-the-art research findings on what nutrients are needed by different groups in our society and how these nutrients affect our health and well-being. More than half of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's $68 billion budget is spent on nutrition programs. Some of these programs feed more than 25 million children lunch each school day or provide groceries for more than 27 million families through the Food Stamp program. This book was written and produced for those who are interested in eating for good health, and that includes most of us. It will be of special interest to people who work in the field of nutrition and meal planning, agricultural producers, educators, and students.
