Nutrition policies in Western Europe: national policies in Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Ireland, and the United Kingdom

Article Abstract:

It appears that non-governmental groups have driven many of the dietary policy changes seen in the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Belgium, France, and Ireland. Efforts aimed at educating the government, the population, food distributors, and food service providers have varied within these countries and have been met with varying success. Some governments have taken a more active role in establishing and implementing dietary policy than others.

International perspective: basis, need, and application of recommended dietary allowances

Article Abstract:

The basis, need, and application of recommended dietary allowances have been studied from an international perspective. There has been little change in recommended dietary allowances (RDA) since they appeared during World War II. New terminology will be introduced, and attempts are to be made to recommend values that will prevent the more prevalent chronic degenerative diseases.
