Abstract
In 1969, the White House Conference on Food, Nutrition and Health made recommendations to government to improve the nation's posture relating to nutriture. Among these were specific calls for improved nutrition education programs, including the use of the mass media, and improvement in ways of meeting the food needs of low-income families. Congress has since passed legislation addressing some of the recommendations, and the USDA has expanded and initiated new programs to implement them. These include the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP), Special Supplemental Feeding Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC), the Food Stamp program, Commodity Supplemental Food program, and the Nutrition Education and Training program (NET). The USDA has set forth eight objectives to be met in the 1980s as it moves ahead as the "lead" agency for nutrition research, Extension, and nutrition education.
