You have been appointed to the Campus Dietary Guidelines Committee. What things do you need to consider when developing dietary guidelines for the campus community?
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: Considerations include: priority health issues and nutrient needs of young adults and older faculty and staff, and current dietary guidelines for Americans. The challenge on college campuses is to provide nutrient-dense foods, minimize solid fats and added sugars, and offer appropriate serving sizes while taking into account product availability, cultural and taste preferences, convenience, and cost. Education messages should include guidance on what and how much to eat, and could incorporate components of the Eating Competence Model. You might consider environmental changes and policies to support healthful food choices and opportunities for physical activity.
