"Tie nutrition program to health care"...GAO
1979
The U.S. General Accounting Office (GAO), Congress' watchdog agency, recently criticized the Department of Agriculture's Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC). The WIC program needs to be linked to health services and nutrition education and should not operate merely as a food distribution service. After a review of four states--New York, Louisiana, Illinois and Washington--GAO stated that coordination between the Department of Agriculture and HEW for health services may not be enough. Local programs were making little or no attempt to prescribe individual food packages, and nutrition education has not received the priority Congress intended. The Department of Agriculture rebuffed the GAO review, stating that it did not indicate nationwide problems facing the WIC program.
