What Determines the Variety of a Household's Vegetable Purchases?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Stewart,   Hayden; Harris,   James Michael; Guthrie,   Joanne F.
The USDA encourages people to eat a variety of fruits and vegetables through the Food Guide Pyramid and participation in the National 5-A-Day Partnership. A varied diet helps ensure a complete mix of nutrients, and a lack of variety in vegetable consumption has been further linked to the incidence of obesity (e.g., McCrory et al.). To assist these efforts, the USDA's Economic Research Service has investigated the factors that influence the purchase of vegetables, and identified obstacles to variety.

Behavioral Economic Concepts To Encourage Healthy Eating in School Cafeterias:  Experiments and Lessons From College Students
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Just,   David R.; Wansink,   Brian; Mancino,   Lisa; Guthrie,   Joanne F.
Changing small factors that influence consumer choice may lead to healthier eating within controlled settings, such as school cafeterias. This report describes a behavioral experiment in a college cafeteria to assess the effects of various payment options and menu selection methods on food choices. The results indicate that payment options, such as cash or debit cards, can significantly affect food choices. College students using a card that prepaid only for healthful foods made more nutritious choices than students using either cash or general debit cards. How and when individuals select their food can also influence food choices. College students who preselected their meals from a menu board made significantly different food choices than students who...

Meeting Total Fat Requirements for School Lunches:  Influences of School Policies and Characteristics
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Newman,   Constance; Guthrie,   Joanne F.; Mancino,   Lisa; Ralston,   Katherine L.; Musiker,   Melissa.
Concerns about child obesity have raised questions about the quality of meals served in the National School Lunch Program. Local, State, and Federal policymakers responded to these concerns beginning in the mid-1990s by instituting a range of policies and standards to improve the quality of U.S. Department of Agriculture-subsidized meals. Schools have been successful in meeting USDA nutrient standards except those for total fat and saturated fat. This report uses school-level data from the School Nutrition Dietary Assessment-III to calculate statistical differences between the fat content of NSLP lunches served by schools with different policies (e.g., menu planning) and characteristics like region and size. Positive associations are found between a meal’s...

The National School Lunch Program:  Background, Trends, and Issues
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ralston,   Katherine L.; Newman,   Constance; Clauson,   Annette L.; Guthrie,   Joanne F.; Buzby,   Jean C.
The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) is the Nation’s second largest food and nutrition assistance program. In 2006, it operated in over 101,000 public and nonprofit private schools and provided over 28 million low-cost or free lunches to children on a typical school day at a Federal cost of $8 billion for the year. This report provides background information on the NSLP, including historical trends and participant characteristics. It also addresses steps being taken to meet challenges facing administrators of the program, including tradeoffs between nutritional quality of foods served, costs, and participation, as well as between program access and program integrity.

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Guthrie,   Joanne F.; Lin,   Biing-Hwan; Ver Ploeg,   Michele; Frazao,   Elizabeth.
The increased food purchasing power offered by the Food Stamp Program can promote food security and improve the overall economic well-being of low-income households. Now, as Americans struggle with obesity and other diet-related health problems, there is interest in whether the program can be more effective in encouraging participants to make healthy food choices. ERS has compiled economic research to provide decisionmakers with information on the likely effects of various proposed strategies for improving the food choices of food stamp program participants. This overview summarizes the findings, which are presented in more detail in a series of individual briefs.

CONTRIBUTIONS OF NONALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES TO THE U.S. DIET
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Capps,   Oral, Jr.; Clauson,   Annette L.; Guthrie,   Joanne F.; Pittman,   Grant; Stockton,   Matthew C.
This report analyzes consumer demand and nutritional issues associated with nonalcoholic beverages purchased for at-home use by looking at demographic variables such as household size, household income, education level, and region. The beverages include milk, carbonated soft drinks, bottled water, fruit juices, fruit drinks, coffee, tea, and isotonics (sports drinks). The report's focus is on the impact of nutritional quality from beverage purchase choices that a household makes, looking at the household's availability of calories, calcium, vitamin C, and caffeine from these beverage choices. Using the Daily Values on the Nutrition Facts portion of the food label as a reference, we find that nonalcoholic beverages purchased for at-home consumption...

A HEALTHY SCHOOL MEAL ENVIRONMENT:  FOOD ASSISTANCE RESEARCH BRIEF
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ralston,   Katherine L.; Buzby,   Jean C.; Guthrie,   Joanne F.
A "healthy school meal environment" not only gives students opportunities to make healthy meal choices but also encourages them to do so. The extent to which a healthy school meal environment affects the success of USDA's school meals programs is currently a subject of debate. The policy strategies that can be used to encourage such an environment for the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and the School Breakfast Program (SBP)also are subjects of debate.  Environmental factors considered to be important include: (1) the nutritional quality, variety, and acceptability of program meals; (2) meal scheduling; (3) nutrition education; and (4) sales of non-USDA ("competitive") foods. Other factors contributing to an overall healthy nutrition environment in...

Can Food Stamps Do More to Improve Food Choices?  An Economic Perspective--How Can We Tell If We Are Making a Difference?  ERS Efforts To Improve Evaluation of Nutrition Outcomes
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Frazao,   Elizabeth; Guthrie,   Joanne F.; Smallwood,   David M.
Currently, the effects of the Food Stamp Program on the food choices and diet quality of participants are the subject of much debate. Improved evaluation of the nutrition and health effects of the program would be of use to program and policy officials, but most of the existing research is limited by three key factors: the difficulty in separating the effect of the program itself from other factors that may be related to program participation (that is, selection bias); relative age of the data (which do not capture current programs or population behaviors); and use of outdated dietary standards and assessment methods. This brief describes current ERS activities to address these problems and improve evaluation.

Food stamp recipients, like other Americans, struggle with nutrition problems associated with choice of foods, as well as amounts. This series of Economic Information Bulletins compiles evidence to help answer the question of whether the Food Stamp Program can do more to improve the food choices of participants. It examines the role of affordability and price of healthful foods in influencing food choices and the likely success of any policy targeted at changing food choices through food stamp bonuses or restrictions. It also examines other approaches to changing food choices, including nutrition education and potential strategies drawn from behavioral economics literature. Meaningful improvements in the diets of food stamp recipients will likely depend on...

Away-From-Home Foods Increasingly Important to Quality of American Diet
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Lin,   Biing-Hwan; Frazao,   Elizabeth; Guthrie,   Joanne F.
The increasing popularity of dining out over the past two decades has raised the proportion of nutrients obtained from away-from-home food sources. Between 1977 and 1995, home foods significantly improved their nutritional quality, more so than away-from-home foods, which typically contained more of the nutrients overconsumed (fat and saturated fat) and less of the nutrients underconsumed (calcium, fiber, and iron) by Americans. Since the trend of eating out frequently is expected to continue, strategies to improve the American diet must address consumers' food choices when eating out. This report analyzes food intake survey data collected by USDA over the past two decades to compare the nutritional quality of home and away-from-home foods and examine how...

School Food Service Costs: Does Location Matter?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ollinger,   Michael; Ralston,   Katherine L.; Guthrie,   Joanne F.
Over 30 million lunches and 9.8 million breakfasts are served every day to children in participating American schools through the USDA National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs.  It is challenging for participating local school food authorities (SFAs) to serve appealing, healthful meals while covering food, labor, and other operating costs with USDA reimbursements.  But it may be more difficult for some SFAs than others due to cost differences across locations.  Analysis of data from a large national sample reveals that after controlling for differences in SFA characteristics, sharp differences in costs remained among rural, urban, and suburban SFAs and across regions.  The highest costs occurred in Mid-Atlantic, suburban SFAs and the lowest cost...

DO HEALTHY SCHOOL MEALS COST MORE?  FOOD ASSISTANCE RESEARCH BRIEF
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Guthrie,   Joanne F.
USDA school meal programs represent a significant Federal investment, at a cost of almost $8 billion in 2001. More than 27 million children are served school meals annually, making USDA school meals programs a logical place to look for action to improve children's diets. It has been argued that improving the nutritional quality of school meals will raise costs, and therefore increasing USDA school meal reimbursement levels is necessary for that improvement to occur. However, the relationship of school meal costs to success in achieving program outcomes-that is, serving healthful appealing meals that are well-consumed by children-has never been thoroughly investigated. Previous USDA studies of the school meal programs such as the National Evaluation of...

School Breakfast and Lunch Costs: Are There Economies of Scale?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ollinger,   Michael; Ralston,   Katherine L.; Guthrie,   Joanne F.
On a given school day, over 31 million lunches and 10.1 million breakfasts are served to children in participating American schools through the USDA National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs.  The United States Department of Agriculture reimburses schools for some or all of their costs.  Reimbursement rates are based on an average meal cost, adjusted each year based on the national CPI for food away from home.  There is no adjustment for school characteristics such as size, although there can be as much as a seven-fold difference in the number of meals served, from the smallest to largest schools.  Yet, economists have shown that economies of scale exist in a variety of commercial and industrial settings.  Thus, we use a multiproduct translog...
