Traditionally, nutrition programs were targeted to the indigent and poor populations in developing countries. Many of today’s Americans are malnourished also, but they are inundated with unhealthy foods and require a multidisciplinary approach to nutrition education. What would be the three most important points to include in a public nutrition program? Provide current literature to support your answer and include two nutritional education community resources.

The three main points I would include in a public nutrition program would be:

1. Eat more fruits and vegetables

2. Stay away from processed foods

3. Use healthy fats/oils

Many children and adults will eat nothing but carbohydrates all day long.  Fruits and vegetables have many health promoting properties such as fiber for the digestive system, vitamins for overall health and antioxidants for anti-cancer and heart health. In the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2015-2020 it states, “research has shown that vegetables and fruits are associated with a reduced risk of many chronic diseases, including CVD, and may be protective against certain types of cancers”(Ch. 1, Association Between Dietary Components and Health section, para. 1). Processed foods contain high levels of salt, sugar, oils and chemicals that are detrimental to our health.  Fats and oils are an important part of our diet because they contain essential fatty acids and vitamin (USDA, DHHS, 2015).  According to the USDA and the DHHS (2015) you should limit saturated fat intake.
