WASHINGTON - A new set of
seven short bulletins issued by the
U.S. Department of Agriculture
can help consumers eat the varied,
balanced diet recommended by
government nutrition experts.
The set, “Dietary Guidelines and
Your Diet,” offers supplementary
information that helps consumers
follow the seven basic dietary
guidelines in “Nutrition and Your
Health: Dietary Guidelines for
Americans” when purchasing,
selecting and preparing food. The
Dietary Guidelines - published by
USDA and the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services in 1960
and revised last fall - form the
basis of nutrition education policy
for the general public.
According to Carole Davis, chief
of the Human Nutrition In
formation Service’s guidance and
education research branch, each of
the seven “minibulletins” focuses
on one of the seven Dietary
Guidelines and provides in
formation on food composition,

and menus, and practical waysto
follow the guidelines in planning,
purchasing and preparing foods.
Each also includes a self
assessment quiz or activity to
involve readers with the in
formation and encourage them to
apply it to their own food practices.
“Tlie tips and recipes in each
minibulletin consider all of the
guidelines, so you won’t find
yourself neglecting one to follow
another,” Davis said. “The
guidelines all work together for a
healthful diet.”
The first minibulletin, “Elat a
Variety of Foods,” and the second,
“Maintain Desirable Weight,”
from the framework for following
a good diet. The first features
practical suggestions for selecting
foods to get the nutrients you need,
Davis said. The second deals with
the why and how of weight loss and
weight maintenance.
