Excerpt from Dietary Guidelines and Your Diet: Home Economics Teacher's Guide What makes up a healthful diet? How can people make food choices that promote good health? Newspapers, magazines, books, radio, and television tell us what to eat. Many people are aware that diet may be important in chronic health conditions, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, tooth decay, diabetes, osteoporosis, and some forms of cancer. Yet sorting through information can be a difficult task! Sound dietary guidance, as provided by the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, is important in a world with so many food choices and so many sources of nutrition information. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans, published by the Departments of Agriculture and Health and Human Services, are seven recommendations designed to help keep healthy Americans healthy and perhaps even improve their health. These Guidelines are straightforward, simple, qualitative recommendations for making food choices. They may be inappropriate, however, for those who follow special diets because of disease. The Guidelines represent the best advice that nutrition scientists can give currently. They will be revised as research provides more information. The first two Guidelines form the framework of a healthy diet. Eat a variety of foods in amounts to provide nutrients needed for good health and calories to maintain desirable weight. The other five Guidelines underscore qualities of a good diet avoiding too much fat, saturated fatty acids, and cholesterol; sugars; sodium; and alcoholic beverages while consuming adequate starch and fiber.

Excerpt from Foods: Enriched, Restored, Fortified To make a stronger nation, many Federal groups devoted to the health and welfare of people cooper ated to take some action for the benefit of everyone. State, county, and city organizations also joined in the movement. Through the efforts of all these groups, foods that have long lost certain values are having some of these returned as one way to improve national diet. It is still just as important as ever to improve food selection and to teach better methods of food preparation, but since this will take a rather long period of education, the program of enriched, restored, fortified foods has been undertaken.
