Nutrition Policy, a powerful tool Ripe opportunities to reach consumers
Eating healthfully often requires more than personal
willpower. Government food and nutrition policies and programs make it easier
to access healthy foods, including a colorful variety of fruits and vegetables.
Produce for Better Health Foundation (PBH) is working to prioritize fruits
and vegetables in national research, policies and programs, to make the healthy
food choice the easy choice for all Americans. Armed with overwhelming health
benefits evidence, we’ll go far. With your grassroots assistance, we
can go even further.
Take federal feeding and nutrition education programs, for example: Touching
an estimated one in five Americans are programs including food stamps WIC,
school and summer meals and the new school Fruit and Vegetable Snack Program.
PBH is working to make sure that these and other programs put fruits and
vegetables first in the minds and mouths of Americans of all ages.
