Resumen
Descripción
Dietary guidelines issued by the United States Department
of Agriculture (USDA) form the basis for nutrition
policy in Federal food, education, and information programs
(Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2010). This
article presents alternative policy options regarding the
implementation of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans
(DGA) and the consequences of those policies. It defines
the current status of DGA policy, identifies key stakeholders,
presents the economic considerations which influence
what people eat, and analyzes a set of policy options and
their potential consequences for each stakeholder group.
This approach follows the public policy education methodology
(PPE) for policy options and consequences suggested
by Knutson, Sanders, and Armbruster (2012).
