Abstract

The Senate Select Committee on Nutrition and Human Needs issued its report "Dietary Goals for the United States" in early 1977. The report was important, some argued, in that it began to deaf in a straightforward way with the contemporary human nutrition problems in the United States. Rather than focusing on the minimum requirements for dietary balance, the need for a moderation in intake of certain foods was stressed. Others argued just as forcefully that the available scientific evidence could not support the specific recommendations made in the committee report. And that in the absence of such information, consumers were being advised to change their eating habits in ways that could bring economic hardships to part of the food and agriculture system without improving the national health.
