Setting the table with a healthy plate: make half your plate fruits and vegetables.

摘要

The year 2011 marks an exciting time in the field of nutrition and dietetics. Not only were the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) released, representing the most up-to-date scientific recommendations on food, nutrition, dietary patterns, and physical activity, but the Federal government embarked on a fresh approach to communicating the DGA. In September, the US Department of Agriculture's (USDA's) Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion (CNPP) launched a multi-year, multi-modal DGA communications campaign to help Americans put seven key behaviors from the 2010 edition into action. Two hallmarks of this new communications approach are the focus on one consistent nutrition message at a time and substantial coordination of messages conveyed to consumers throughout the marketplace. From November 2011 through 2013, USDA's Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion will be sharing details of this campaign and the role of the registered dietitian on a quarterly basis through this column in the Journal.
