Federal commitment to human nutrition research
1982
Abstract: Several congressional subcommittees with oversight responsibilities for USDA and DHHS mandated that these 2 departments work together to develop and implement a national nutrition monitoring system (NNMS). It is part of the federal government's (FG) efforts to sustain a commitment to human nutrition research. This report contains the latest results of the efforts to implement the NNMS, as well as some of the available information on diet and health issues, along with suggestions as to how the FG can more adequately inform citizens about nutrition issues. A number of the congressional members who serve on these subcommittees made statements related to their particular concern and the concern that the FG hasn't moved faster and further into the nutrition information dissemination area. Testimony was taken from members of the 2 departments involved with the NNMS as well as recognized professionals and concerned individuals in an attempt to resolve the concerns related to food, nutrition, and disease.
