摘要:Scientific research increasingly
confirms that a healthful diet
reduces the risk of developing
chronic diseases. Many groups,
including the food industry, voluntary
organizations (like the American
Heart Association), and Federal
and local government agencies,
either independently or cooperatively,
have stepped in to accelerate
the trend toward healthful eating by
promoting eating patterns that conform
to Federal recommendations.
These efforts have focused on providing
nutrition information and
education to persuade and guide
Americans to consume more healthful
diets, and/or directly altering
the nutrient content of foods or
meals.
