Answer to Question 2

The U.S. government has been involved in tracking certain elements of the food supply and food consumption for the last century, beginning with the USDA's Food Supply Series undertaken in 1909 . In the 1930s, the first USDA Household Food Consumption Survey was conducted. In 1965, this survey became known as the Nationwide Food Consumption Survey. The Ten-State Nutrition Survey was conducted between 1968 and 1970 . In the 1970s other surveys, such as the NHANES I and Pediatric Nutrition Surveillance System, were administered. In the 1980s and 1990s, NHANES II, NHANES III, and the HHANES studies were conducted. In 1990, legislation was passed that established the NNMRRP, which includes more than 50 surveillance activities that monitor and evaluate the health and nutritional issues of the U.S. population. Currently, the What We Eat in America Survey and the Total Diet Study are utilized.
